HIV from ICE CUBES!?

[lantongblack]

few days ago, got drunk with some friends at a go-go bar in thailand, my friends pulled some prank on me by putting ice cubes into my underwear. ok i know this question sounds silly, but if there's blood or vaginal secretion on their hands (they fingered the go-go dancers), is it possible for HIV to transmit that way, from their hand onto the ice cubes then onto my penis/pee hole(because i was all wet) if the blood/vaginal secretion is from a HIV positive?

i asked this question to doc bob from thebody but his reply was brief. he just said 'please tell me you are kidding'... i think he means its no risk. but i really wish someone can tell me why is it no risk? is it because hiv dies while exposed to water/ice? i am really glad to hear it was no risk but can somebody kind enough to tell me the rationale behind it?

just a quick question, how long does hiv survives outside human's body?

Vance, you are too kind to reply. like doc bob always says, good karma coming your way!

HIV is not frozen with an ice cube. You have to understand preservation techniques to understand how a lab freezes samples.
Nothing changes with your assesment.

oh ya, in my post that hiv dies because of exposed to ice, it isn't true.

HIV certainly could survive well if frozen; in fact, freezing is how HIV (and other viruses) are preserved in laboratories. "

just for evrybody's info. hope this info doesn't change your risk accessment towards my exposure...

Thanks for the kind reply. Teak's reply is always short but assuring.

Dr. Bob was right. It was not a risk, HIV is not transmitted that way.
You need unprotected vaginal/anal sex to transmit HIV in a sexual way.

Move on.
