Lubricants
Hi guys , can lubricants host HIV (can HIV live into lubricant) ? Because of it's fluid-like texture ?
Thank you.
Thank you.
How would it just get caught? The "what if" questions don't have a place here, they are for the HIV anxiety forum.
No risk.
HIV is transmitted:
Sexually-unprotected vaginal and/or anal sex
Mother to unborn/nursing baby
IV drug use
No risk.

Yeah , sounds stupid , eh ?
It's not much why put "VIH" inside , it's more like if accidentaly "VIH" gets caught in a fluid like lubricant , can it live as long as in body fluids ?

Why would someone put "HIV" in a lubricant? Irrational thinking.
Of course it is risk free from HIV.

By HIV-risk free I mean "Is there a risk of catching HIV by buying and using intimate lubricant (classic store/sexshops) ?"
Thank you
Thank you
You mean either outside the body (example : semen on a table) or drowned in lubricant , HIV will die in the same time ? Approx. how much time ?
That said , buying and using intimate lubricant is HIV-risk free ?

No.
Hiv cannot remain active in lubricant any longer than it would in any other place outside of the body.
