infected vaginal fluid thru underwear?

[romero80]

Hello everyone,

I had an encounter with a prostitute who was high, she is most likely infected with at least an std....I touched her vagina over her underwear (not bare skin), the question is, could infected vaginal fluid get past underwear onto my hands and then transfered to my penis as I masturbated with the same hand?

How many days should I wait to be in the clear or should I test before to protect my partner .

Thanks

This decision is yous an yours alone.  I cannot say that you do not have any STD but if the exposure you describe is your only risk to an STD then its extremely close to zero.  U may have had previous exposures possibly and that is why its almost impossible to attribute any infection to a specific encounter.  
This has been a non sexual encounter so almost no risk for an sti. I have seen more sexual activity in some night clubs.  A week for clamidya and gonno, 6 weeks for syphilis and nothing else you were at risk of can u test for. Hiv is no concern here.  I really think you need to forgive yourself, std's are not out to get you. And as risks go this was so little as to be off the scale.

Thanks Alan, the risk is so low that without syntoms I'll be 100%, do you have an idea of how many days I should wait before resume sex with the partner?

You were at so little risk its not woth worrying about. Guilt is cauing your anxiety.  I suspect you need to deal to deal with your guilt. STD's are not judemental, they do not infect based on you actions or perceived bad decisions.  They infect based on their presence and opporunity, you removed their opportunity so no need to worry.  I cant say for sure this encounter was risk free but your more likely to win big in the lottery than catch an std.  Now how many times have you questioned how you will spend that 100 million pounds? none right?

Also, today's my anniversary, she's gonna want sex for sure, will I put her at risk even if I have no syntoms?

Pls Anyone advise

[romero80]

I know this is low risk but you are rite I'm anxious so I wanna know how many days would u consider safe to resume sex with my partner, is 2 weeks enough?

[romero80]

Nono, I didn't have that, what I was saying is that Vance hinted that STDs are only spread by sex which doesn't include oral, all I did was a massage, she had her panties on but her vagina felt wet, she gave me a long handjob but no sex.

[alan74]

You didnt mention any oral exposure in your initial post.  we can only comment on what you tell us.  

[romero80]

Vance I'm just curious what actions you consider risky and which not? I'm searching the doctors forum and they suggest this is not something to worry about unless there are syntoms which brings me back to my original question...how many days should I be clear after?

[romero80]

I think so to but it confused me the fact that he points STDs as acquired by sexual intercourse only when it is known that oral sex can transmit STDs too? Maybe am I missing something or didn't explain my risk well enough?

[alan74]

I think Vance meant they are called STD's becuase they are transmitted via sexual intercourse, as you had neither oral, vaginal, or anal sex your risk is so low its not worth a 2nd thought. No need for testing at all.  Perhaps guilt or regret is making you anxious but you had no risk for STD.  Relax and forget about it.

[romero80]

Alan, low risk then? For what if I test? Thanks for the short straight forward answers but what is it that I should do?

[romero80]

If I don't experience syntoms in the next 1-2 weeks or could be more?

[romero80]

What name? What do you mean Vance?

[alan74]

Virtually no risk for anything,  can never say zero risk beacuse allmost anything remains theoretically possible, theoretically you could self combust reading this reply but very unlikely.  Your risk of infection for any std would be about the same.

No, STD's have that name for a reason.
