Handjob with tainted condom

[kamamanithan]

Hi.

Is it possible for a women to taint a condom.
i visit a CSW recently, but only aksed for a handjob with a condom. She refused to use condom for handjob but I kept insisting. She got irritated.

Then she went out to take a condom - but the condom was not inside any package or wrapping. I am afraid she could have tainted/contaminated it just before coming to my room.

Is it possible for a women to stick up the condom inside her vagina and contaminate it with vaginal fluid/menstural blood. if she were to reverse the condom inside out, place it on her finger(s), put it inside her vagina, take it out and reverse it back such that the fluid is now trapped inside the condom?

(1) Will HIV survive inside the condom for less than a minute
(2) If she gives me a handjob with the tainted condom, will I be at risk  (I have foreskin)

Welcome to our Forum.  I'll try to help. As I do, let me tell you that I agree entirely with the opinions provided at our HIV community site.  The situation your describe is simply not a realistic way for HIV to be transmitted from person to person.  Not only do I doubt that the CSW who you interacted would do such a thing but I also am confident that if she had, and if she had HIV (this is statistically unlikely), the virus would not survive so that it could be transmitted to you.

As you have already been told, the HIV virus is a fragile virus that starts to die as soon as it is outside of the body.  It is for this reason that even when sex partners are known to be HIV infected (yours was not) and when partners get each other's genital secretions on one another in the course of mutual masturbation, HIV is never transmitted.  The hypothetical situation you describe is similar.  For her to contaminate the condom, then use it to infect you is simply not a realistic possibility.  

I would not worry about this possibility and see no reason even for HIV testing related to this situation.  I hope my comments will add reassurance to you.  Please do not worry about the events you describe.  EWH

Dear doctor. Thanks last question. Can i take that even the fluid/blood were not exposed to air (even for a single sec) in the process of transfer they still die due to the mere fact thst they are outside the body

Your situation is not nearly the same.  there are many, many more "ifs" involved in your circumstance tham the one you found from two years ago.  Our replies are client-specific and refer to their own situation, even when it is an imagined one of the sort you described.  You do not know that your partner actively contaminated the condom and even if she had, the mechanics of doing so would have damanged the virus if present.

There will be no further replies to these sorts of paranoid "what if" questions as part of this thread.  EWH

Dear Doctor,

Thank you for the assurance. Really appreciate it.

I would just like to clarify;

I understand that the virus begins to die immediately when outside the body. However, in of your earlier post, dated in 2011, you had mentioned that

"genital secretions trapped between folds where the condom surfaces touched, preventing exposure to air or drying an thereby preserving the potential viabiltiy of HIV, had it been present"

My case is similar because the vaginal fluid/blood might not have been exposed to air or drying. Please clear my doubt. Thank you.

Please clear my doubt
