Sex experience Question
« on: June 19, 2018, 09:02:36 pm »
Thank you for the request

To keep this simple:

I had a sex experience with a girl which involved:

1) A small make out session
2) Her giving me a hand job dry
3) Me fingering her for about 5-10 seconds (I did went in deep with 2 fingers)
4) Her giving a handjob with some of her spit and her rubbing it on my top penis as well
5) Myself masturbating with the hand I fingered Her with

What’s my risk assessment here? I tried looking on Jim myth page but didn’t see anything about fingering. I’ve been seeing about risk or no risk with fingering. Any education on it will help. Also about the spit, does it really die once exposed to air?
Thanks for any help on this.

1-5  Not how HIV is transmitted.

Also about the spit, does it really die once exposed to air?

Spit is not a HIV concern, see saliva is not HIV infectious, in fact its hostile towards HIV it also contains over a dozen elements that neutralize it.

Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, every time, no exceptions.

Keep in mind that some sexual practices which may be described as ‘safe’ in terms of HIV transmission might still pose a risk for transmission of other STI's, so please do get fully tested regularly and at least yearly for all STI's including but not limited to HIV and test more frequently if unprotected intercourse occurs

Also note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms and the only way of knowing is by testing.

More information on HIV Basics, PEP, TaSP and Transmission can be found through the links in my signature to our POZ pages, this includes information on HIV Testing

Kind regards

Jim

Thank you Jim for knowledge answers!

One last question and I wont be asking again:

I did work for an ambulance company that required me to pick up backboards from the hospitals. I know some had blood on them and they were dried up. Now I don’t know how long the back boards been sitting at the hospital for but it would take me at least 20 minutes to get back to my station to clean them. Before cleaning all the boards, I would spray on the boards ALOT of virex and also pour a ton of it inside a bucket with water and use a brush to clean the boards. I had a incident where maybe a splash from the brush went towards my face and might’ve got in my eye. Is there a risk here? Also on my pants, is it able to seek through my pants or any cuts from my body? I’m reading somewhere it’s still alive even for hours outside environment?

Thank you Jim for help

Not how HIV is transmitted & no cases like the situation you described.

TY Jim for the reply!

From a educational view from your experience studies, the blood dies as soon as it exposed to the air and sitting there period time it dies? I know this is my 3rd and final response for the forum. Thank you for your help Jim

"dies" is debatable, although to keep things simple most simply use the term "dead" when speaking about HIV concerns. What is important and the only question that matters is if the HIV was still infectious and if so were all the other required conditions met.

See biologically, for even for a "what if" theoretical risk, as in never happened but prehaps one-day in human history could, four conditions would all need to be present for transmission to occur:

The virus must be present in an infectious body fluid from the HIV positive person, it must be present at sufficient levels to cause infection. There must be an effective route of transmission, and it must reach susceptible cells in another person.

Nothing you posted met all 4 biological conditions needed.

HIV is very fragile and its not just air that is a barrier, it does not remain infectious outside the human body, as once hiv finds itself exposed outside the environment of the body, small changes in temperature, pH / moisture levels and indeed air all damage the receptors needed to infect human cells.  Now as said you could debate the alive/dead part when its comes to a virus but what matters is was it still infectious
