HIV Risk??

[verybadlyworried]

I went to a massage parlor for a body rub and the lady offered a blow job with condom. First, she masturbated herself to arouse me. I am worried because, after she masturbated, she used the same hand that had vaginal secretions to open and put the condom on. She performed a handjob with the condom on my penis. So would the secretions inside the condom, with the friction of the handjob pose a risk as they might have entered the urethra or blood stream. I am uncircumcised.

I am a 24 year old virgin as I never had penetrative sex in my life yet even with a condom.

Is this a low risk or no risk situation. If not a risk, please tell me scientifically why it is not a risk? Would you suggest me testing?

I am very worried and please need your elaborate assurance Sir!!!

You need to accept that this was a no risk event an not be re-thinking an over-thinking this.  It is not productive.  Yes you can have unprotected sex with your wife. EWH

This will be the 4th time that I have told you- your exposure was no risk.  “No risk” means that you cannot get HIV through the activities you describe.  If you choose to get tested you can do so but it is not necessary.  

The ICMA test is an antibody detection test.  DUP tests test for both antibody and HIV p24 antigen.  Thus, an ICMA is not a DUO test.  At 40 days (almost 6 weeks), an ICMA test would be expected to detect almost 95% of recently acquired infections.

This is the last answer. There will be no further replies. EWH

Doctor!!!

Finally I had a LabCorp ICMA Test which they say is an ELISA test at 40 days after exposure. So is this a DUO test? Can I be sure now with the Negative result.

Please answer SIR!!!

Doctor!!!

So even if I gave you the sequence of events wrong, you consider this event NO RISK, whatever the way the secretions got on to my penis? Ofcourse I did not have penetrative sex.

Can I have unprotected sex with my wife if I get married?

Glad to help. EWH

Thank you so much for your consultation!!! God Bless!!!

If there were vaginal secretions in the condom, the way they got there and sequence of events still makes this no risk, as I said.  EWH

Doctor!!!

So the vaginal secretions of the woman inside the condom would not be a risk in any way? I thought the penis head is susceptible after the condom was put on it with the secretions inside it.

Please answer this question and I have no more questions. I promise.

Welcome to our Forum. My assessment is the same as the response you have already received on the HIV community site.  There has never been a case of HIV transmitted thorough masturbation despite the fact that it is typical for persons engaged in mutual masturbation to get each other's genital secretions on one another. Surface contamination with HIV containing material does not lead to infection.  The virus must have access to mucosal surfaces or be injected deep into tissue. Finally, as you have already been told, the virus dies quite quickly when exposed to air an room temperature.

The event you describe was no risk and there is no medical reason for testing.  EWH
