HIV PREVENTION COMMUNITY
is this correct?

is this correct?

"The third obstacle to transmission this way is having hiv present in the first place. The female secretion where hiv has been shown to be present is the cervicovaginal fluid. This fluid is actually a thick mucus that covers and protects the cervix.
The fluid a woman produces when sexually excited comes from glands located on either side of the vaginal opening. I have yet to discover one shred of evidence (and believe me, I've looked) that shows this lubricating fluid to have any more hiv present than other bodily secretions such as saliva, sweat or tears. Saliva, sweat and tears are NOT infectious fluids. "

omg! Dr HHH seems don't agree with this statement!!!!!!

by H. Hunter Handsfield, M.D., Jun 13, 2008 03:20PM
Actually, I don't agree with that reasoning.  First, I'm not sure that the HIV content of lubricating secretions from the Barthonlin and Skene's glands actually has been studied.  Certainly if there were inflammation of those glands, as is common in STDs, those fluids almost certainly would contain HIV -- and HIV might be there all the time anyway.  Second, there is no way to separate cervical secretions from lubricating fluid.  Cervical secretions are produced continually by most women, and I would not assume that fluids near the vaginal opening come only from sexual lubrication; undoubtedly they usually (always?) include cervical secretions.

None of this changes the fact that HIV transmission never occurs by hand-genital contact, including masturbation with vaginal fluid as lubricant.  But the reason probably has more to do with the amount of HIV from such exposure, not the origin of the woman's secretions.

And what is your point? His agreement or non-agreement has nothing to do with what you have been told by this forum.
Blank

your point?

what i have stated on this forum is that hiv has been found to be located way up in the vagina, at the cervix.

PLEASE stop with all this...enough is enough.  really.
