Cuts on anus and fingering

[davegraham5]

I suffer from cuts on anus which I assume is called piles. Unfortunately I participated in some sexual activity with Gay male unknown status. II am male. He performed protected oral sex on me and also sucked his fingered and stuck it in my anus which hurt like hell as I have cuts. Is it possible, since i have cuts there that an std can be transmitted?

I am pretty sure its not but due to the fact i have multiple cuts and it was stinging, there is an increased chance of std being passed on.

Hope you find the time to answer my question

for rimming yes you should be only performing it over a barrier. fingering isn't an issue.

Sorry, I meant barrier protection for std's or is that not essential for fingering/rimming etc?

Thanks for your help.You have been very informative

[gracefromHHP]

don't get checked because of std risk, get checked because skin that tears all the time and doesn't heal isn't normal so you need to get to the bottom of it!!!

no reason for any std testing from this.

why would you need to prevent pregnancy for fingering or rimming?  or were you really asking about using barrier protection for std protection?

I will make another appointment with doctor to get it sorted hopefully. I feel doctors can be waste of time sometimes. Think what you said makes sense. Basically rimming is a low risk activity for catching an std. Due to my cuts it increases the risk slightly. I thought having an open wound as such would increase odds greatly but then again, im guessing the std has to be in that persons mouth? I have read most std's including hiv are not common in the mouth. More herpes i think but correct me if i am wrong.

Was going to get an std check but shouldn't really waste clinic time and money for such a low risk activity when other people need seen. I always practice safe sex and safe oral sex. Would you suggest contraceptive for fingering or rimming? Or generally as these are very low activities, contraception is not necessary? Save me asking this at the clinic

Thanks Grace

if you've had cuts in the anal area for years, you need to follow up on them more!  This obviously isn't normal and if the skin isn't healing, it means it's time for a much further work up.  

yes if he had rimmed you it would a bit higher risk but even at that not much of a risk ( hope that makes sense ).

Thank you grace for your reply. Really appreciate it.

I have been checked and doctor said I have a cut that should heal with cream which it didnt and thats been couple years now. I just keep ignoring it as hoping it will go away and wont have to get surgery. I dont have anal sex ever and no rimming either so hopefully this incident of fingering doesnt have any risk as you said. I always have protected oral sex. This guy was fully clothed and only inserted finger in mouth then my anus. Oral sex was protected. Him performing protected oral ex with me.

So if this guy for example rimmed me? Would that hold some sort of risk of std or hiv since I have cuts around anus?

[gracefromHHP]

piles/hemorrhoids aren't usually cuts on the anal area, they are usually protrusions of skin.

this was not a risk for you. we recommend protected oral sex because it works! It's about as safe sex as you can have with another person. saliva in general is a poor way to transmit std's so a wetted finger in the anus isn't a real risk, even with cuts.

definitely not a good idea to have sexual contact if you have open cuts anywhere in the anal genital area though. be seen and find out what is causing them. do you get constipated regularly?
