Vaginal Fluids

Ok....so this is my question

They say that vaginal fluids of an infected woman contian HIV.

My question is that are vaginal fluids always present in the woman...or do they comeout when the woman orgasam.

The reason I am asking this is coz my exposure was for only 3-4 mins...and I am sure that the girl did not orgasam..and neither was she stimulated...so does that mean she will be dry...or atleast there won't be much of vaginal fluids.

less contact with fluid = less risk. Climax has nothing
to do with it except in the case of men whereas climax
results in more fluids (lots more).

Yes, to one degree or another. Just like the
nose/mouth/eyes or other mucous membrane, that is
why they call it a mocous membrane. These levels
vary in the vaginal area according to many different
factors. I dont beleive anyone is completely dried
up ever.

I did not have unprotected sex.....it is just that after 3-5 mins of sex...she took my condom off and started giving me a hand job....my concern is that she came in contact with her vaginal fluids while taking off the condom...and then touched my urethra

The vaginal fluids are always present, although state of arousal can influence the amount (similar to the production of pre-seminal fluid in men).

Your risk, as has been rehashed ad nauseum, was very low. Female-to-male transmission during insertive vaginal sex is relatively inefficient for the transmission of HIV (especially when compared to receptive anal, for example). There are a few reasons for this: 1) amount of inoculum - relatively little fluid can enter the urethra to contact the mucous membranes therein. 2) Surface area - there is relatively little mucosal surface area exposed.

Relax. Chances are good that your partner was/is HIV-. Even if she was, chances are good that you have not been infected.

Can anyone please answer.

What if while removing the condom, your hand touches the penis head? is that a risk?

vvvvworried16,

I thought you were asking a general question about female-to-male transmission, not seeking more comments on your exposure.

I have commented on your 'exposure' numerous times - a hand job is NO risk, whether or no there are trace amounts of her vaginal fluids on her hand. Unless her hand were literally dripping fluids - and even if it were - you were likely not at risk.

The HIV virus, for all the fear it conjures, is fairly 'delicate'. It breaks down very quickly in air and light, so EVEN IF the woman were infected and EVEN IF she got cups on vaginal fluid on you during the hand job, chances are you COULD NOT be infected.

OK?!? There are only so many times we can rehash the same question. Asking it in a different or sly way will not change the answer.
