please don't delete. i have try 20+ times AND MY FIRST TIME GETTING THROUGH

DR.HHH
I am a female, i went and meet this one guy who i don't know his HIV status, he later RIM me (licking my anal).  I know from the past post it is hard to get hiv from it but here is a few pts i wish you can point it out to me.
Before he lick my anal or anus, i hurt myself from wipping too hard in the toilet, i may have tear my anus becasue i feel a burning sensation, when he was licking my anal I feel his touch did come contact with the area i feel tear or the burning feeling.  I hurt myself from wiping only 2 hrs ago before the licking took place, this worry me because:
1.  I don't know if he has any cut in his tongue or lip, if he has and my anal was bleeding does that mean we could have hiv transmition because there was blood to blood contact?
2.  How much blood is need to transmit hiv, does it only take one drop of blood to do it?
3.  I know skin and gential touch does not transmit hiv, but lets say i have hair in my leg, i am an idian which i have lots of hair in my leg, if the sperm or vaginal secreation (water) touch the leg where the hair grows, does that cost more risk?  YOu know where when the hair grows, the skin have small holes... ( i am sorry if you dont' understand this one, i have problem with english).
4.  My last question, if this is my only risk exposure do you think i need testing and can i continue sex with my bf?


GOD BLESS YOU!

Rimming is generally believed to be low risk. Further, any exposure to a person's mouth or saliva is low risk:  nobody gets HIV by receiving oral sex, for example (or so rare to forget about it).  Part of the reason is that saliva kills HIV.  On top of that, if your partner is from the US, has not had sex with men and is not an injection drug user, the chance he had HIV is zero or close to it.

To your specific questions:  1) Even with potential cuts in his mouth or on your anus, the chance of getting HIV from rimming is zero or close to it.  2) Lots of blood exposure usually is required to transmit HIV sexually.  3) Hairier areas of skin are no more susceptible to HIV than other skin.   4) If this is your only risk, you definitely do not need HIV testing.  But if you otherwise are sexually active, you should have an HIV test once a year.

Good luck--   HHH, MD

Hi Doctor,
no question, not thread jumping, I just wanted to inform you that a person you banned, iknowihaveit, is using the HIV Support Forum under the alias 'BadDay1972'. I actually asked MedHelp to block iknowihaveit weeks ago, but they rarely listen to WW's like me. This guy has seriously abused other forum users and has exploited their willingness to try and help him. I thought the matter would be better in your hands.
Many thanks, as always

Thanks for the heads-up.  I have asked MedHelp administration to look into it.
