oil lubricant

hi all,

i need some advice to assess my risk and stop my anxiety.

i hv protected vaginal intercourse with an asian pros few days ago.
i remember i only go inside her for abt 20 seconds.
after that i cannot erected properly(due to guilt) and she started putting some oil lubricant in her vaginal and we tried the insertion again.
still no luck on the erection part. but she did used my penis to brush her vaginal for few minutes.
afterward, i was finished off by protected oral and masturbation.

heard that oil will damage latex condoms. not sure if my condom was damaged at that time. however i noticed that it hold my sperm properly when she remove the condom from me. i am using durex's latex one.
what is my risk associated with the encounter mentioned above. many thx!

you had PROTECTED sex and were never at risk.

using oil based lubricant can damage the integrity of a condom and cause it to rupture...but it would be OBVIOUS if your condom had failed...yours didnt.

hi, thx for the info provided.

i called up the proz the other day and found that she has her menstrual period.started 2 days after my encounter. is this going to increase my risk?

appreciate your advice.

"started 2 days AFTER my encounter"

once again...you had PROTECTED sex.

this sound silly but,

is there possibility to hv small amt of blood in her vaginal 2 days before her menstrual period started?

[LIZZIE LOU]

for the third time...YOU HAD PROTECTED SEX.

it would not matter is she was actively on her period...you wore a condom.

hi, sry abt the silly question.

I saw this response in The Body from Ryan Kull (August 2002) regarding oil-based lubricants and condoms.  Mr. Kull wrote:

"Oil-based lubricant won't only make the latex condom prone to breakage, but it can decrease the condom's ability to prevent HIV and other STIs from passing through the barrier (or as you say, makes it permeable). So if you use oil-based lubricant with a latex condom and it doesn't break, that does not mean that the condom was effective in preventing disease transmission.

I do not know specifically how long it takes for the condom to lose it's effectiveness when oil-based lubrication is used, but it can happen quickly. Regardless of the timeframe, you should not consider the condom to have been 100% effective."

can someone help to clarify this? thank you!

That information is incorrect. What oil does is weakens the latex and my cause the condom to fail. Now we're done with your no risk situations.

hello,

i have waited 14 weeks and planning to get tested tomorrow. however, the person in charge in the clinic told me that i have to wait 6 months to confirm my status.

is there any difference as in the type of test (rapid test kit) they are using different from those in the US, which need 6 months to get an accurate result?

btw, i ma from malaysia.
