Just A Few Questions

[marlon713]

I had mutual masturbation with a sex worker and upon rubbing her there was extensive amounts of vaginal fluid.  There was no insertion.  Now in doing research I read that the HIV virus thrives in the thick fluid by the cervix.  And that vaginal fluid is produced by a gland on either side of the vagina.  Now my question is that if HIV begins dying upon temerature changes or contact to air, would the HIV be dying as it excreted onto the exterior portions of the labia and vagina?  The sex worker gave me a handjob using oil and there was no genital to genital contact and upon reading this site that unless there is unprotected "insertion", you are unable to transfer the aids virus.  Also, the fingers are not good hosts for te virus because they do not have soft warm muscous membraned on them. There is still that nagging thing in the back of my mond that I know I will need to get a test to really put behind me for good.  IMAybe because I am married with a small child. In talking with a local HIV center, first I was told that the CDC doesnt have statistical risks for mutual masturbation and fingering which should tell me something plusI was told that there is a 95% chance that at 20 days after exposure I would begin to show symtoms or at least now I dont feel good.  The fatigue usually starts first and that leads to a fever which happens for a majority of people around 10-14 days.  Is this correct?  Would I really be able to tell if i was seroconverting by knowing I just dont feel right or is this bad information.  Just wondering because I feel fine and the only symptoms I really have are anxious stomach and alot of digestion gas and burping.  No risk so I should experience symptoms but I was just wondering.    I am taking at PCR DNA test on Tuesday which I was told is about 95% accurate at 23 days.

Thanks for your replies and this may also out others at ease in my situation.

Most people that are infected don't have symptoms so yes that was incorrect information and you were never at risk of contracting HIV. PCR-DNA tests aren't even approved for use in diagnosing HIV.

IS this bad information from my local HIV center:

"I was told that there is a 95% chance that at 20 days after exposure I would begin to show symtoms or at least know I dont feel good.  The fatigue usually starts first and that leads to a fever which happens for a majority of people around 10-14 days.  Is this correct?"

hiv is transmitted through...

unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child

it is not transmitted through...

masterbation
fingering
rubbing
rimming
sucking
licking
and everything else you can think of ! ! !

No, maybe I phrased it int he same way because I have read so many different scenarios that mine sounds like everyone elses.  My main question was:

"In talking with a local HIV center, first I was told that the CDC doesnt have statistical risks for mutual masturbation and fingering which should tell me something plusI was told that there is a 95% chance that at 20 days after exposure I would begin to show symtoms or at least now I dont feel good.  The fatigue usually starts first and that leads to a fever which happens for a majority of people around 10-14 days.  Is this correct?  Would I really be able to tell if i was seroconverting by knowing I just dont feel right or is this bad information.  Just wondering because I feel fine and the only symptoms I really have are anxious stomach and alot of digestion gas and burping.  No risk so I should not experience symptoms but I was just wondering because there is lots of information out there.  Dr. HHH says 10-20 days for seroconversiona dn others say 14-30 days.  Just asking and hopefully the answers will help someone else.

it was just the way and place you have described the fluid that makes me think that. regardless. if you wrote it or you read it, why are you asking the question here? if you read all the posts for mutual masturbation, the next comment alwyas says NO RISK! do you think the answer will change for you?

[marlon713]

I have never posted before.  Just used other sites as a reference.  A previous post from a moderator at another site was the one talking about the cervical fluid and the vaginal fluid.  I am sure there are so many with my problem you have me confused with someone else.

[ExtremeStress]

also! why do you think they don't have statistics for mutual masturbation? because no one gets it this way!!

[ExtremeStress]

you were told on the other site that it was not a risk!
