Hiv transmission from vaginal fluid

[sadis]

My friend has gone to a sex worker and first he fingered her and then touched his penis and then had protected sex with her then he took off the condom and touched penis and sperm and cleaned penis with cloth.then he came to my house after 15 minutes and then shaked hands with me.i after some twenty minutes after he went away washed my hands with detergent soap and then touched a 2 week old wound on my kneeand immediately after 2 or 3 seconds tried to stand up and hit my wound on the sharp small table furniture end and one or two drop of blood came from the wound.would the vaginal fluid on his finger because of fingering and then touching the condom and then giving a shaken to me transmit from his hands to my finger and then to my wound.i also read that virus doesnt live in higher numbers in vaginal secretions at the parts where we will be fingering its high up in the vaginal mucossal membrane but the condom could have touched that vaginal mucossal membrane and brought that vaginal fluid which have high numbers of hiv virus and then those viruses can survive very long to infect me?also he kept bot hands when he came by bike on the shoulders of drivers will the virus survive in that vaccum between closed surfaces in those 15 minutes he travelled in the bike?Doctors please help me...how long will the virus in vaginal fluid directly from the vaginal mucossal membrane survive?

Sadis,

Your friend did not have a risk for hiv infection and neither did you.

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 never going to become infected with hiv through shaking someone's hand, even if their hand is absolutely dripping in vaginal fluids or cum.

In adults, hiv is transmitted through:

Unprotected anal intercourse.

Unprotected vaginal intercourse.

Sharing drug injecting equipment.

And that's IT.

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 TO TEST FOR HIV SPECIFICALLY FOLLOWING SHAKING HANDS OR TOUCHING VAGINAL FLUIDS ON THE OUTSIDE OF A CONDOM, 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!

Thank you for your reply doctor but the problem is i kept my finger on the wound which started bleeding immediately.and the vaginal fluid on the condom should be from vaginal mucossal membrane which will infect others.i also heard that hiv lives in vaccum for 4 weeks.my friend holded drivers shoulder and will the hiv survive in that very long during that period?and after that only 20 minutes i kept my hand on wound.does the virus directly from vaginal mucossal membrane live longer than 20 minutes to infect others through bleeding wounds?

Sadis,

This situation DID NOT HAPPEN IN A VACUUM!!!

You did NOT have a risk for hiv infection. Hiv does NOT remain viable and able to infect when outside the body.

If you don''t believe me, go test and collect your negative result.

I have went to a sex worker and have protected sex with her but i fingered her and then took the condom there was vaginal fluid in my hands from the condom  and there was a 2 week old wound on the hand and there was vaginal fluid above it immediately after i seen for the vaginal fluid which was not visible but it should be dry i hit in the wound and some drops of blood came.will the hiv virus be injected into the blood stream because of this?

I merged your thread into your old one where you should post all you concerns every time no matter how long its been or the subject matter . You can go to your profile and select show own post and it will take you here .

We have been over your concern already so please reread this whole thread . Vaginal secretions are not infectious for HIV and its not a risk .
