Fully Penetration

[argelia26]

Hello everybody:

Yesterday I post a question but I think it was not really clear. I have been reading for having a  risk is necesary a FULLY PENETRATION. What do you mean with this? Because I Think this have caused a lot of confusion, because a man can penetrate partialy, I mean, introduce his penis just a little, like his penis' head, and the first part of the vagina,  not until the bottom, I mean, all the penis inside the vagina. A case like this (just a part the penis in a part of the vagina is a risk? What kind of risk? Probabilities of getting HVI by this way? Because also I have read that rubbing genitals against other's genitals is not a risk, why?? Because there are fluids involved too. I would really apreciate an answer.

Thank you very much

See a doctor if you are concerned instead of trying to self diagnosing yourself.

Thank you very much. Your words are very confortable!! I don not know if he is HVI+ or not, but this have been a really mental issue in my life (HVI). I think there is somethong wrong with my mind but really I can not control it. People like like you make me feel stronger and capable of bearing this during the "window period".

May I ask you a question? Are you a doctor, or how do you know so much about HVI? Well I hope to keep in touch because this is a way to mantein calmed. Thanks again.

PD: Sorry for my english but I am spanish speaker and I have to practice a lot.

yes a single time exposure is very low to be infected..and also the 'friction which occurs during sex plays a big part in transmission..in your case..it was just a dip..so there is very low chances of infection to happen provided that the person is hiv positive..and dont forget its also a single exposure..so bearing in mind all these factor, you should be fine..
a test at 6-8 week is a very good indication of your status and its unlikely to change..
however, you must test again at 3 months post exposure for a conclusive result..

Thank you very much, I really apreciate your time to answer. I have read that there have to been a lot of factors involved to get infected. Why a lot of people say that the probabilities of contracting HIV in one expousure is 1 in 200, is this true?

And other question, how does a lymph node when is swollen? Because I feel a pain in my left armpit and that have caused me a really horrible psychosis, but I do not know how to know if my lymph node is swollen, this is a hell.
Finally, what do you thonk about get tested 6 weeks after risk, is that useless? Or could be a good indicative of my serologic state?

Thank you very much again

rubbing in the outside is not a risk..a risk= penetration(head of penis inserted into vagina)
if insertion is present, its better for you to test at 13 weeks post exposure..however, the time of exposure is very minimal and the transmission froma  1 time exposure is very minimal..
