The statement is based on thousands of observations. On a theoretical basis, the virus is likely to adher to clothing fibers rather than move through the liquid. It would then contact intact genital skin, not a mucosal surface. Intact epithelium is highly resistant to HIV- this is the reason that masturbation is safe sex; no one has ever gotten HIV through masturbation either. EWH
Thanks Dr. Hook,
That's quite interesting. I wonder if you could elaborate more about its scientific reasoning and why the virus dies when it reaches my pants. Since from a thermodynamic point of view the temperature of my penis = the temperature of my underwear = the temperature of my pants = the temperature of her vagina. What happens to the virus that cannot travel with her liquids into my penis. Thanks
The exposure you describe is no risk for STD, including HIV. Even if your clothing was saturated with her genital secretions and even if she had HIV (which is unlikely). No one has ever gotten HIV through clothing and you will not be the first. Testing would be a waste of time. EWH
