Hiv from testing equipment
« on: December 07, 2012, 05:36:21 am »
Hi expert, here my story. For the past 8 months. I always been to massage parlor average 3 times a month . Below is the activity i have done in massage parlor:
1) handjob
2) i suck her nipple.
3) she suck my nipple.
4) french kiss
5) she sleep next to me with panties on. not sure her vagina fluid has been contact with my penis head or not.
6) she on top with pants and use her vagina rub my penis until i ejaculate.
7) while massage , she insert her  finger into my anus few times. (what if her finger is bleeding? i don't know, i close my eye while she handjob me. I tested Duo test 24 days after this incident and 38 days show negative. Conclude for this?)
8) i use finger and rub her vagina with pants/panties.
9) body to body massage with panties on. Not sure her vaginal fluid in panties may contact my penis head or not.
10) we hug a lot, im naked while she topless with panties. can hiv infection take place when he vaginal fluid in panties come contact with my penis head?

I DID not do any oral sex / sex with them. On 19th november 2012 i has been for combo hiv test which include p24 antigen + elisa/EIA and result turn negative. I thought i can move on with the result but end up taking another combo test at 3 dec and camae out negative which is 31 days after my last massage sessions. Can i conclude i am hiv negative ? i still have massage activity on 4 weeks,5 weeks, 7 weeks,8 weeks ago i have been sleepless nite for past 3 weeks. I plan to get marry next year, im so guilty for what i have done. Please advise my lovely buddy.

Rambo,

You have NOT had a risk for hiv infection.

1. Getting a handjob is not a risk.

2&3. Sucking nipples is not a risk. Having your nipples sucked is not a risk.

4. Kissing is not a risk. Not only is saliva not infectious, but it also contains over a dozen different proteins and enzymes that damage hiv and render it unable to infect.

7. Fingering or being fingered are NOT risks. If she had a cut that would have presented any danger to you, she would not be putting that finger inside your anus. It would hurt HER too much.

5, 6, 8, 9 & 10. You are NOT going to become infected with vaginal fluids that may be present on panties. Hiv is a fragile, difficult to transmit virus that is primarily transmitted INSIDE the human body, as in unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse where the virus never leaves the confines of the two bodies.

Once outside the body, small changes in temperature, and pH and moisture levels all quickly damage the virus and render it unable to infect. For this reason, you are not going to become infected through fluids on panties or any other item of clothing, or anything else that is in the environment - OUTSIDE the body.

You never had a risk for hiv infection and you do NOT need further testing.

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 DO NOT NEED FURTHER HIV TESTING AT THIS TIME, 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!

As Ann has told you in detail, you were never at risk in this incident. There was no need to test and yes, you are HIV negative.

Now stop the drama and get on with your life. HIV is a fragile virus and is not transmitted in the manner you are concerned about. Really.

Rambo,

If she cut the whole tip of her finger off before inserting it into your anus, then and only then would you have a problem. I'm quite sure that's NOT what happened.

It's time you got over this no risk event and got on with your life. You did NOT have a risk and you do NOT have hiv.

Hi all,

I recently went to one of my std clinic in my country to check on my penis itching problem. The doctor use a wire swab and take a cell from my urethral. The problem come, i see the wire swab is not a disposal item. Not like those cotton swab. So i ask the doctor, is this clean? he say , sure it is clean... My panic come, wut if they forgot to sterilize it? and use the reused wire swab on me. they put my health to hiv!!

Can how long hiv survive outside the body? the swab will go into my urethral ... Can this put me in risk? i am so scare now ....

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

We are not going to indulge you any further in your drama and what ifs when there is no sound reason to think you have been exposed to HIV.

This is your last warning. If you come back with anymore of this nonsense, (yes, nonsense!) you will find yourself getting a Time Out for at least 28 days from this site.

If you can't let go of these fanciful fears then I suggest you see a professional to get help with the matter. We can't do that in this setting.

Yesterday just saw a thread that the Line T is contain hiv antigen in it. Oh my god, from zero risk now i have make myself trouble . I will get infected by hiv.  :(

This is the reply from the test kit company:

Hi,

Our test kit is the ELISA test kit. It detects for the HIV antibodies that present in the blood sample.

The test strip contains chemical only. It does not contain any HIV antigen.

YOu are NOT going to get HV from an HIV test. That notion is preposterous enough to make me question your sanity at this point.

After i open up the rapid test strip. i throw it near my office public dustbin. After 30 minutes, i went to the dustbin and take it out again to have a look. That time my finger still not recover from the prick yet. There is still blood on the rapid test strip. Dustbin will have hiv? hiv in the dustbin bind to my blood and i pick it up, i get infection. ~~  :(

You are very astute. Your mind cannot think properly.

What the hell? Dustbins carry HIV now? Listen to yourself.

You might spiral into this surreal crazytown all you want, but you won't be allowed to do so on this forum. Here we deal in facts, not HIV fetishes.

Do you need me to list all the things you wont get HIV from? Because that list would be millions of items long. We have told you the VERY FEW ways you get HIV. Please stop making a fool of yourself. Seek therapy if this insane drivel is coming from an honest place and you aren't simply playing the forum.

Your latest round of batshittery has been reported.

If you really get HIV from this incident, then all of science is wrong. Just think about that.

All of science.

I am not angry. I am frustrated by your obsession with HIV and your inability to let it go, no matter down what crazy rabbit hole it leads you.

Just to be perfectly clear, you did not, CAN not get HIV from shaking a man's bloody hand.

Please continue to work with your counselor, and please continue to take your medications.

Rambo,

Of course I don't have a different opinion. Shaking hands is NOT a risk for hiv infection, regardless of any details you care to add.

The only way you would have been at risk for hiv infection from the motorcycle guy is if you had unprotected anal sex or shared drug injecting needles with him.

If you choose to use this forum to go on and on about your latest NO RISK incident, you WILL be given another Time Out - and this one will last for 56 days.

Please consider yourself warned!!!

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Keep in mind you are on the verge of getting a 56 day Time Out. HIV risk is not your problem. Your unwarranted fears is the problem. Get the help you need professionally. We can't address that for you in this setting.
