two,

Getting a blowjob is not a risk and neither is cunnilingus.

GIVING a blowjob might, on rare occasion, result in infection - but this route of transmission is also extremely unlikely. How do we know? Read my other post again.

two,

Yes it only has to do with an open sore, because the open sore MIGHT give hiv access to the bloodstream.

Anytime you have an open sore, you need to keep it away from other people anyway, for their sake as much as yours. And make sure you use condoms for intercourse.

Exactly.  The only risk would be her passing a respiratory ailment to you from coughing in your face.  But no HIV risk.

Hello recently had sex with a condom however after I noticed quite a bit of blood on condom obviously the girl was on her period.Also there was quite a bit of bood on the base shaft area of my penis where the condom doesnt cover and this is the spot that some time ago I had a herpes though havent had a visible sore or some time.I read somewhere that there was no need for a visible sore for there to be a risk from contact with blood etc..The condom looked intact when I took it of but am concerned due to the blood where the condom didnt cover.Am I at risk?

David,

Can I ask why you are using different usernames while posting to our forums? Thus far, you have also used twofourty and jimmy5447

Please realize that this kind of activity is disrespectful of other forum members, as well as our moderators. People spend a considerable amount of time helping others in these forums. Using multiple accounts is at the very least annoying, if not deceiving and disrespectful of others. It is also against our Terms of Membership which you agreed to when you became a member. This information is also contained within the Welcome Thread, which you should have read by now. So really, you have no excuse.

You must realize that the answers won't change, no matter how many names you post under.

I would appreciate a reply to this message, and I hope you will commit to using just one account - preferably your original one. If not, you will be banned from further access to the forums.

Ann

RapidRod's reply to your post is spot on...no risk.

Blood dries on the skin, skin does not absord blood..intact skin is what protects us, and from what you have described there was no risk whatsoever.

Please read the lessons here on transmission.

You did NOT have a risk in the incident you bring to us today. Please read your entire thread over again, because you keep asking the same basic questions and the answers are NOT going to change, no matter how many names you use or how many times you ask the question.

No risk.

Keep using those condoms.

Thankyou for your understanding,I will only use this username from now on.

See my only concern was there was blood on the base part of my penis not covered by the condom and it was in the place where I used to get a herpes sore and I heard somewhere that may create a microscopic entry?

two,

You heard wrong. Go read the responses you had on page one of this thread when you were using the name jimmy. The answers, as I told you yesterday, are not going to change. Menstrual blood does not change the basic fact that intact skin is an efficient barrier to hiv infection.

And as you were also told as jimmy, if you have an active outbreak where your condom does not cover, you shouldn't be having intercourse because you WILL infect your partner with herpes.

Read your ENTIRE thread again - all two pages of it. Our answers are NOT going to change.

two,

What do you think?

It's ONLY relevant if you have an outbreak. If you have an outbreak on your penis where your condom does not cover, you should NOT be having intercourse at ALL until you are completely healed. This is NOT for your benefit, it is for the benefit of your partner so you don't give them herpes. Keep your herpes to yourself!

two,

What I mean is that if you have an active outbreak - a sore, blister, whatever you want to call it - you should not have intercourse if the condom does not cover the blister because you will give your partner herpes. This ain't rocket science, mate! Herpes is spread through blister to skin contact. Don't let your herpes blisters come into contact with another person's skin. If you either make sure your blister is covered with a condom, or abstain from intercourse during an outbreak, you won't have to worry about any increase hiv risk to yourself. It's pretty simple.

Keep your herpes to yourself!

You're inching towards that time out...

In an earlier post you said " You did not have a risk and would not have even if there was one there" referring to a lesion ,is this the same for this latest blood scenario?

If you can confirm Yes No Risk to both I will be on my way,sorry for being a pain

two,

Re-reading your edited post does not change my answer. NOTHING you have brought to us in this 140 posts long thread has been a risk for hiv infection. You used condoms for intercourse. No risk. You didn't have a herpes blister present when you had intercourse. No risk.

Keep using condoms correctly and consistently and you will continue to avoid hiv infection. If you should have a herpes outbreak in future, take care to keep your blister away from other people.

Hi a girl I was with had just cut the top of her finger with a  breadknife ,it was bleeding bad and we were holding hands ,I also had a cut on my finger and mabe her blood flowed into mine as we held hands,whats the risk?

I notice in the "living with hiv" theres discusion about whether to tell if youve had a cut and somene comes along to bandage it up,so there must be a risk right ?

I've merged your threads.

She had a cut and you also had a FRESH, OPEN WOUND? And you were holding hands -- holding open, bleeding cuts together? It all sounds highly improbable to me. HIV is  a fragile virus and not easily transmitted. I've never known of a case of transmission in the manner you are suggesting took place.
