foreskin

Hi
Its me again lol i was just doing a little research and i found that HIV can be transmitted through the foreskin through Langerhans cells. these apparently are the cells that can absorb HIV also it is the biggest cause of viral infection. As i stated in my last post about 3-5 years ago i did "docking" with another man he was 10-12 i was 8-10 i am not sure if there was any ejaculation but i know there was pre-*** we are both uncircumcised is there a small or possible risk i absorbed any possible HIV the guy had(I am not sure if he had HIV or not) through my foreskin or urethra? sorry i dont mean 2 repost its just i dont think that my last post covered the foreskin issue and i am still a nervous reck.

Thanks, jEsS

look, think about this anyway. The average risk for an episode of sexual intercourse with a woman for an uncircumcised guy is 1 in 1000. However, your risk was much, much lower. So low that it doesn't even bear measuring.

Also, the kid was 12 years old for crying out loud. It is VERY unlikely that he would be having sex at that age, and if he was born with it he'd be on suppressive medication which would put your exposure off the charts in terms of low.
