I need some peace-Please, Please

Hi Doctor

(I realise you have answered similar questions but a direct answer to my situation would be so helpful
for my peace of mind)

Please help me. I am married with 2 children. Recently (one week ago) I attended a upmarket
Asian (Chinese) massage parlour in Sydney Aus. I received a body to body massage. For
a brief momment (5 sec) the lady rubbed her vagina against my penis to which I objected.
Whilst in the shower after the massage i noticed a broken pimple in my pubic hair near my
navel, i can be fairly sure that her vagina came in contact with it also (briefly). my concern is based
on the fact that perhaps the warm massage oil enabled the virus (if she was infected) to survive
and hence enter my body through my penis or the pimple. Could you please address the following for me:

1) Is the belief that no one has become infected in this way based on statistics or does research
of the virus support this

2) Would i have symptoms of other STD's at this point.

3) I need to wait to get tested, and I dont want to tell my wife. Do i need to be tested?

4) I have read on other sites that the risk is very low or "theoretical". Obviously there are no
guarantees, but in my shoes would you get a test?

Many, many thanks in advance

Scared.

P.s i can not remunerate you for fear of my wife finding out, however I will make a contribution
to HIV research through alternate means.

Hi, Scaredozzie,

I agree 100% with Teak. Not an Issue for HIV transmission.

Thank you so much for your reassurance. I am amazed by your generous offering of time to this forum. However, could someone please explain to me the difference in risk between and upprotected pimple on a penis during intercourse and a pimple on another part of the body that comes in to direct contact with vaginal secressions. Everything I read suggests that the risk in the former situation is elevated as appossed to the later?
Also, I do NOT wish to sound offensive, but could you (Teak, Rob73) please convey to me your qualifications in assesing my situation just to assist in alllowing me to rely on the info and move on?

Please cut me some slack, i am very anxious. My concern however unfounded you may think, is very real to me at the minute. Your initial response was comforting, but brief. I was hoping for some detail as to how you can reach this conclusion. My need for this deatil stems from the concern laid out in my second post...please detail the reasons behing your conclusion as I am struggling with the concept of why a similar wound/cut/pimple is less dangerous when exposed to the same fluids in different situations. PLEASE be patient with me, i am not trying to be antognistic and I appreciate your frustrations with pests like me..sorry in advance.

[Teak]

What you may think is real is NOT. You were told you didn't have and HIV concern. MOVE ON. Don't post anymore about it.

[scaredozzie]

Truly, i appreciate your sentiment. However it is as though you are saying. "your not because I said your not" If you cant give me an explanantion or at least a copy of a previous explanation than I can only presume that you cant explain?

This is not a repeated question, but a request to have answers that have been previously ignored. Cant you understand that no explanation to someone in my state of anxiety is making things worse? I cant post in the Expert forum as my wife will see the credit card transaction. desperate, please dont cut me off.

from dr. hansfield:

"HIV isn't so easily transmitted.  Minor cuts and trivial blood exposures simply don't create a measurable risk.  Like many persons, you seem to think that "just one virus" is enough to transmit the infection.  That is not the case.  Substantial amounts of infected blood or secretions have to be introduced into the body in a way that exposes certain cells to the virus.  

the same would apply to your "pimple".  hiv is not transmitted in this way...it just doesnt happen.

now move on...you were NEVER at risk for contracting hiv.

[scaredozzie]

Thank you Lizzie, that is all I was after. You are a champ. Keep well.

[scaredozzie]

I have looked all over the forum and cant find (probably not looking in the correct place)
the response  you gave me (quote)from Doctor HHH to a concern similar to mine. It seems this is his response to a situation where people are concerned about becoming infected from touching items that may have been touched by a HIV infected person. i believe my concern is different as my penis aand pimple both had direct contact with the ladies Vagina. if you could send me a copy of his response to a similar situation you will not be hearing from me again. I PROMISE.

geeeeeeeeeeeeez.....the circumstances surrounding the incident are irrelevant.  what is important is the explaination of "trivial cuts" vs. hiv infection.

your anxiety driven questions will not be fueled by us.  you can take them to the anxiety forum where maybe someone will feed you.

now move along...we will not repeat ourselves again.
