Excessive Amount of Blood - Mutual Masturbation

[mariobrother]

First of all thank you for the excellent service and advice you are giving to all forum members. You guys are truly one of a kind!

I had a CSW encounter in June 2013, at which time I fingered the woman for a considerable time. This activity was interrupted from time to masturbate myself. When the session ended I noted CSW's blood on my hands, with which I masturbated my dick.

I have been unable get get the thought out of my mind that I may be HIV positive. I have had some weird symptoms/ailments which I will not describe as you will in any event not comment on these.

Please advise if I was at risk at any time and if you consider testing necessary.

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

You did not have a risk in the situation you describe . HIV is a fragile hard to transmit virus that can not live or infect once outside the human body . Once exposed to oxygen small changes in temperature and PH levels instantly damage HIV rendering it unable to infect .

HIV is sexually transmitted from unprotected anal or vaginal sex and not from masturbation so even though there was some menstrual blood it was not a risk .

Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:

You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together.

To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.

Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.

Although you did not have a risk and do not need to test for this specific incident , anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.

Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!
