thanks a lot for your reply, Dr. H
Did you read my reply? Here it is again: "Oil can weaken condoms so they break. If the condom remains intact, there is no increased risk."
If you had unprotected vaginal sex, having the sore might have increased the risk of HIV, if your partner was infected. With the kind of exposure you describe, there is no risk at all, and therefore no increased risk with a penile sore.
The most common cause of penile sores is genital herpes. You might discuss this possibility with your doctor.
That's all for this thread. No further comments, please; there is nothing you can add that would change my opinion or advice.
thanks Dr.
Will the oil denature the condom so increase the pore size and let virus pass through?
For my sore, I found out that when I was having a bath after the encounter. I felt a bit painful when washing away those bathing soap from my penis and so I examed it after I back home. I found out a small sore which seemed the skin was stretch off but no bleeding (Ichecked with a tissue pressing on it). I am curious to know whether the wound must be bleeding for the HIV to infect the body? or the sore like mine can also be a risk?
Thanks again ^^
Welcome to the STD forum.
As you were told on the HIV community forum 6 months ago, there is no risk of sexual transmission of HIV if a bare penis (i.e. without a condom) is not inserted into a partner's vagina or rectum. Even without a condom, oral sex carries almost no risk at all -- and with a condom there is no chance of transmission. It is not possible to catch HIV from the exposure described here, even if your partner had HIV -- which probalby she did not.
1) Oil can weaken condoms so they break. If the condom remains intact, there is no increased risk.
2,2) Even if there was an open sore, there was no risk of HIV from these events. From your description, I cannot tell whether there is anything wrong with your penis. Probably you're just examining yourself too closely. But if you are uncertain about it, visit a doctor or clinic for professional examination.
Bottom line: You are not at risk for HIV from this exposure and do not require testing. See a doctor or clinic if you are uncertain about the mark on your penis.
