affraid

Hi,

I'm so afraid of getting infected with HIV. days ago I went to a prostitute. She gave me first a blow job and that a hand job ( both with condom) But that is not were my concern is about.
The problem is that I touched and massaged her vagina ( no really entering). After that I went to the washing area and forgot to wash my hands with soap and I only used some water. I washed my penis with my hands. The hands could have contained some vaginal secretion. ( I have touched the prostitute on her back after that I touched her vagina and I touched the bed probably to get up).
What is the risk for infection with HIV. I'm worried about some vaginal secretion that with washing, some of it got into the uretrea or via the membranes of my penis and that I got infected.
Help me, please I can't eat or sleep.
Thank you

What I mean is under the foreskin.

Can it hide there till the next day?
I had sex with my wife the day after, could i have passed the virus to her if it was under the foreskin in my situation? The situation was that i had some vaginal fluid from a prostitute on my finger ( probably dry, but can not say entirely) and that I washed my hands slightly with water and washed my penis entirely.

I appreciate your comment

I appreciate your comment. I'm so nerveus about it and can't stop crying.

I've read that hiv can live under the foreskin for longer time as it is warm and moisty.

Hi Teak,


Please help me
I've a very important question, this really happened.

If there was living virus when i was washing the penis, could it be that the virus will be kept alive under the foreskin.

Reason is that i got a wound 4 days after on the penis head after i used a platic vagina. There was a kind of a seam on the inside that wounded my penis ( blood on the head of the penis) . Can there be a risk getting infected after 4 days if the virus was kept under the foreskin?

It doesn't matter that you had vaginal secretions on your finger or not. You didn't have a risk.

Hi,

I reviewed your answer again.

Did you concidder the possibility of having viginal secretion on my fingers ( small amount, probably dried out) and that I washed my penis with some water only and therefor touched my penis head? That there are samples that can get into the bloodstream via the membranes or urethrea

I'm still worried.

Thanks very much

What I have learned is that you have to thrust your doctor and the doctor can be wrong, but that is actually highly unlikely. The doctor would not take the risk that you're potentially danger to others.

Keep in mind for the coming 2 hours! and if you have the result.....you're 100% sure that you have notthing to worry about.
I'll be on-line.

No, but it is a great chance. I am wondering if there is someone infected by just this way?

I have the same fear, and in three hours I am taking my 8 months results. From all the thinks I have heard, doctors I have asked and especially Teak (whom I respect a lot), hiv cannot transfer by just touching the condom and then urethra. I wish it is so. We will see.

Hi,

I appreciate your help!!
THANK YOU

There are institutes that say that there is a small risk, but they probably don't know as much as you do and probably they misinterpret some info, right?
My doctor always says chance is one on a million, but that is not enough for me.

THANKS AGAIN

I called CDC and that person had to look it up and the only thing he said is that hiv can not survive well outside the body..and you guess it.....not well for me means that it CAN survive. But anyway, some people say that if hiv survives there is neither a risk this way.....and I doubt about it.

Thanks from a Belgium hypochrondiac

Hi,

Teak already told u it is no risk...I agree with him too.

Getting a blowjob is no risk, massaging and touching is no risk at all....
you need to have unprotected anal/vaginal sex....to be at risk...

Relax and stay good and safe,

Thank you! Appreciating your comment very much,

waiting for comment Teak for details that make me probably more relaxed.
You know..I'm a  33 year old hypochondriac and I'm seeing a psycholgist.

6 months ago I had kind of same story and said everything to my wife. I can not tell her that I made a mistake again and it is a bad feeling that I have only one option left...going on with my life and hoping that possible hiv infection will never turn out. I can get tested in three months now, but if I tell my wife that we can't have sex, she will find out the story and than it is not only over with the relelation but also my wife can't handle it and will get crazy. That is not good for the kids also.

Additional question: hiv dies immediately if i get the vaginal fluid on my finger? Or should it be 100 % dry to have all hiv killed?

Thanks again

Dear Teak


can I be sure that the ( probably dried) vaginal fluid on my finger could not have contained living HIV anymore? If the possibility still excist that there was small amount of virus left, is there a risk?

( it was actually not much fluid and I have touched diferent objects after I touched her vagina, like hair, skin)

Wat makes your answer definately, I need to know why it can not be a risk

I appreciate your answer Teak! Please Please

Thank you very very much for your time
