Menstrual blood poured onto urethra

[hivscare1]

Hello Experts,

I did a blunder mistake by going to get a table shower at a Chinese Massage Parlor. While I was laying on my back on the top of the table naked, The Chinese women bought some wet towel and placed on my penis with urethra touching the towel. The towel seems to have mensus blood on it. She has poured water on to that towel. I am scared that the blood on the towel if forced into my urethra by the flow of water. I really scared about this incident at I started getting the below symptoms

1) Itching rashes on hands and legs
2) Soar throat and body pains at 10 days.

Really worried with this incident as the HIV blood went into my urethra. Please help to clarify.

Hi.  Your question has been answered fully and accurately that there was not a risk from the towel.  There is nothing to add to that and we are now closing this thread.  Best of luck to you.

There's nothing else to add. As you've been told, you had no risk. It's not possible to get infected outside the body. You do not have HIV.

Chima7, the towel with fresh blood was in contact with the opening of my urethra for more than 5 minutes. Is that not enough for HIV transmission ?

[Chima7]

I'm not going to debate this with you. The scenario you've described is not a risk. In an adult, the only way you can be infected is by unprotected anal or vaginal sex or by sharing drug needles with infected users. If you don't believe the correct information you've been given here then feel free to get tested and collect your negative results. But the fact remains that you did not have a risk and arguing about it won't change that fact.

Towels don't transfer hiv. No one would want to put menstrual on blood on you. Anyways, you had no risk as the blood was exposed to air and cannot infect you.  If you're sick, see a doctor, its not hiv.

Hello Malbat, thanks for your response, It is a towel full of menstrual blood. Once it is placed on my penis, the shower tap is turned on to the towel. So, the blood flown on my urethra. Doesn't a penis drowned in a pool of blood with water doesn't cause the HIV infection ?

[malbat]

No.

Could you please explain why it is not possible when towel  full of blood flows on urethra ?

[malbat]

First of all, its unbelievable that your penis was drowned by a pool of blood. This is an anxiety driven scenario. Next, even if it did happen, hiv is a fragile virus. It CANNOT 'survive' outside its host. Exposure to air will 'kill' it.

Thanks for your answer, I am willing to get opinion  of Teak, Lezzi and others as well. I am more worried about this.
