To the Ones who know about HIV

There is a lot of debate on whether certain situations places a person at risk or not. It seems that this forum has narrowed it down to:
1) unprotected sex, vaginal or anal.
2) injecting drugs.
3) breast feeding newborn.

But how about mother giving birth?
How about genital rubbing WHERE YOU MANAGE TO GET SOME FLUIDS IN YOU?
MUTUAL MASTERBATION WHERE THERE IS EXCHANGE OF FLUIDS AND GET FLUIDS ON YOU(like deep rubbing where you get fluid in you openings, mucus membrane)?
SHARING OF SEX TOYS THAT ARE THAN INSERTED IN YOU?

These are exchanges of fluids.
Everybody else says there is some sort of risk.
I know HIV does not survive outside of it's host. But for how long? How about quick exchanges of fluids?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ! ! ! !

you have been assessed as not being at risk from what you have described.  this assessment is based on FACTS...not what "you" think, not from what you have read on some ignorant, overly-conservative website, or what your best friend's mother's boyfriend has told you.

kindly move on...our answers will not change no matter what kind of so called "symptoms" you report.

In addition, to tHe above. The hooker was giving me a message on my back with baby oil. I was naked and I have pimples in my back with some sort of rash on my buttocks (could be folliculitis and/or herpes). She sat on my *** to get me stimulated. If came there where her vaginal fluids be transferred to my rash ( folliculitis/herpetic). 1) while she is sitting on my rash and cumin? Or 2) she subsequently rubbed it over my rash? Keep in mind my ars symptoms post 10-14 days incident. I.e. Swollen nodes, fever, headaches, diareah, slight body ache, no mucus on throat, slight cough. Nodes swollen but painless. Thank you.

I just saw some post from the doctors in this forum saying that sharing sex toys carries some sort of risk. Also, I remember when I was a kid and I worked at a hospital around 1995. I remember meeting a person who was there because of HIV and he pointed to his tattoo and told me that is how he got it. Plus if you look closely I am sure you will find cases in which lesbians have gotten hive through sharing sex toys. I am telling you it can survive for small period of time. Only because there are no confirmed cases does not mean cases have gone undetected. Am I wrong.

Sorry, I just came back from taking a shower. I just realized that my inner area by my pubic hairs looks swollen. Plus I remember burning urination and sticky penis before my alleged ars symptoms started ( I know this part is not ars). But now with the swollen area by my pubic hair near base of penis and a still swollen tonsil, has me worried. Plus a doctor told me I probably have a virus.

I am sorry, does this change your mind.
Did I have Any risk for HIV. Last question.

Teak last question, I know My urethra was touched deep enough to touch the hole inside and see my pink membrane. I am sure the inside my urethra was irritated. And the fluids went inside.
1)  Wouldn't that mean I had an exposure?
2) did I have an exposure?
3) are my symptoms ars related?

NO risk. You could have masturbated with a handfull of vaginal fluids and not been at risk. See a doctor for your symptoms if you are concern, they have nothing to do with HIV.

She gave me a bj with an old unwrapped condom ( no used before). And I am uncircumcised after I touched my penis with my fingers that had vaginal fluids I covered my penis head with foreskin locking the fluids inside and being air tight.

It is just I got those symptoms that are scary, generalized swollen nodes, fever, and so forth.

Thanks teak it just that some fluids got in there and penis was getting a little irritated with the rubbing and all. I figured I had an exposure. What worried me the most was the fever and nodes, and the rest of my symptoms with 10 to 14 days. But the worst part was the doctor's post above that states HIV can be viable for a couple of minutes. The fluids that rubbed into my penis were fresh.!!!!

You never had a risk. HIV is not transmitted in that manner.

Mother to child covers it.
No risk from frottage
No risk form masturbation
No risk sharing toys

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
