This is woring me as I now know he was positive!!

If you don't move on you will be reported to Medhelp.

[helpmenz]

Okay why then would you guys differ from the doctors on here?

What is your opinion based around?

[Vance2335]

You have to ask the Dr that. We can't speak for him.

[helpmenz]

So that post holds no relivance?
Why would a doctor from here say shared sex toys should be regarded like an unprotected penis? High Risk?

What about this then?

FEAR IS NOT FACT ! ! !

[helpmenz]

Same thing how?

Sex toy exposure?

No matter how many times people tell me I had no exposure I still worry...........

[pearljam1]

Sounds like the same thing that I have been asking!!!

[nursegirl6572]

There were be a theoretical, albeit low risk of OTHER STD's from the use of sex toys, but NOT HIV.  HIV is not easy to get, and you've already been told umpteen times HOW it is transmitted, and your situation is not included in that list.  YOU DID NOT HAVE A RISK, PERIOD.  END OF STORY.  

[RainLover71]

You just answered your own question.

[helpmenz]

I don't know why other sexual health services phone web and personal would advocate the use of condoms on sex toys if there is no risk?

It eats away at me telling me that something is wrong here. Why would they say these things is it just scare mungoring, or what?

[RainLover71]

No, there is no risk with sex toys,not even a theoretical risk and the reason is that the hiv virus is unable to reproduce outside it,s living host.

[LIZZIE LOU]

hiv is not transmitted outside it's host.  once exposed to air it becomes inactive and unable to infect.

kindly move along...our answers will not change.  you had no risk ! ! !

[helpmenz]

Is that a no idea response to the question?

Im not trying to cause a problem just trying to ease my fears.

I know that it is advised to cover sex toys but is this like it is advised to have protected oral sex? There is a small risk but more theoretical rather than fact?

[helpmenz]

[Hope242]

No you are not at risk even if the person is HIV positive. The is no risk for HIV from sex toys!

[helpmenz]

Are you even if the person is HIV positive?
