bleeding Pimple on penis shat- risk of hiv transmission

Hi

I had a protected sex with a prostitute one day ago. i had sex with her two time. after secod time i felt some pain on my penis shaft. it was a bleeding pimple which is definitely out of condom coverage and definitely went into the vagina during intercourse. this pimple can be bcz i shaved two days ago.

Now i am really worried and luckly i have the girl number. i met her again in the morning and she was saying that she is free from hiv and when i asked she went with me to clinic for a blood test.

If she is positive, what are the risks of getting hiv from her bcz my pimple was bleeding and get contact inside her vagina. and if she is negative still how can we say that she is purely negative as the blood test can not detect the recently exposure. i am so sared this time and directly went to the std clinic and got a PEP treatment as doctor suggest me. i had sex first time in my life .....

can you please tell me how much risk of hiv transmission is assosiated in my case.

Thanks in advance

WEVE already told you that you do not need it.  PEP is very very very hard on the body, and carries its own risks b/c of that.  You would be foolish not to find another doctor who knows what they are doing.

Your partner tested - and yet the doc still wants you to take it?  Come on!

My advice...quit taking it immediately...and find a new doctor.

That's all we can say....we've said the same things over and over, the ball is in your court now.

PEP is like killing me from inside ..very strong and i m not able to work or think these days...having fever headache, nausia and diaherria ... for second openion i get time on this friday from a doctor ... so untill that should i dont stop PEP ?? as Litlefox suggest "No" for both questions. and all this scenerio i already spend around $1500 (if i am free then i never regert for that as i did best from my side)
/
finally doctor is asking me to complete 14 days medicine course and get a PCR test after 12 days (which ll cost 700 $ ) to get complete results

Considering that the lady used a condom with you, why would she not always wear a condom? she was likely to be hiv- and besides your risk was Zero.  It is terribly unfortunate that you were exposed to those strong meds, and clear you were probably never exposed to HIV.

You must be so stressed, and unwell. Because the doctor told you its a risk, it must be very difficult to disregard in your mind, but its not supported by current evidence. Get a second opinion, and for some sanity read all the doctor's posts...you will feel better.  What ever you do now, remember that you will be over this soon, and 100% sure to  be healthy. I know how worried you feel (though i dont know what its like to take pep).
good luck

PLEASE invite him to this site....if anything, to READ.  He is wrong wrong wrong!!!!

Your "lesion" sounds simply like a pimple, or ingrown hair...something like that.  Personally, it doesn't sound like something to be concerned about at all.

The only thing we can do is tell you that your doc is misinformed.  There ARE a lot of people out there (professionals included...I work with them EVERYDAY) who really were NOT properly educated about HIV.  They were given the "scare" course where "everything" is a risk.  He THINKS he is right b/c of what he learned, but he isn't.  I wish he would read in the expert forum, manned by two Infectious Diseases docs who have decades of combined experience in dealing with HIV.

Find yourself another doctor, b/c this one prescribed you a VERY VERY strong (toxic even) medication for ZERO reason.

FIND  A NEW DOCTOR!!!

You have a greater risk of something going wrong due to the PEP, which you NEVER EVER needed!  I am appalled that a doc gave you PEP for this incident.  It isn't high risk, it isn't even low risk...it is NO risk.  PEP causes very severe side effects in a lot of pts.  I would advise you to seek a second opinion immediately.....so you can cease taking the PEP.

Also, a pcr test is not necessary....you are going to waste your money and time.  PLEASE find a new doctor to consult with about this.....this one is clueless.

Because HIV is not transmitted via a pimple let alone small cuts. It would take a large laceration to even begin to have a slim worry.

Intercourse the fluids are not exposed to air, temperature change or ph changes.

@ Teak : i really appriciate ur comments and finding myself in comfort after ur coments ... but the thing is my question is same and plz elobrate some more it that  "why a hiv positive girl cannot transmit hiv through my bleeding pimple which get touched fully with her fluid (which might contain blood also) ....  plz elobrate more... bcz the thing is here ..

1. Blood to blood transmission as my pimple was open, bleeding and not covered by condom......posssible??

or
2. Fluid to blood transmission during intercourse......possible?

I am just hoping for the best that girl results come negative so that i can find liitle bit comfort even though that ll not be 100 % that she havnt get any recent exposure....

Thanks teak ... ur post is really encouraging and i find here how u are helping people ..

He is asking me to go threw PCR test after 12 days which will cost around 600 $. if the test comes negative then i can stop PEP (FYI he gave me PEP for 14 days first not complete course) he is saying that do not believe on prostitute negative report bcz a blood test cant tell about her recent exposures.  Doctor put me on PEP just bcz of sex with prostitute.

And want to be clarify with ur answer  that a hiv positive girl cannot transmit hiv through my bleeding pimple which get touched fully with her fluid ....  plz elobrate more... i ll be really thankful to u ....

You were never at high risk or a risk at all of contracting HIV having a bleeding pimple and having protected sex where the condom didn't cover the pimple.

@ Teak
i am from singapore .......but when doctor asked me finally ... "wud u like to spend 1000 $ which can minimize the risk about 81 %  even if u are infected wth hiv. He told me that bcz pimple was bleeding and get insert in vagina of a prostitute, so there is high risk and he is trying to minimize my risk in all way what he can do. so finally i accepted PEP. now m eating very healthy diet to minimise the PEP side efects like voating and dihrea.
I am really stressed ... plz suggest something
Thanks very much
