Do I Have HIV? / Re: Am I at risk?

I’m just wondering if this had it all planned, and maybe hurt his finger before putting in me. Would blood here be a risk? Or is it the same thing as pre cum?
Turn your imagination off. You do not need PEP. Just as Jim has already told you, none of your real life activities were an HIV risk. Please move on with your life.


Have a great day,
Michael

Reducing Your HIV risks:
With no exceptions, use condoms correctly and consistently for anal or vaginal intercourse
Talk to a healthcare provider about PrEP as another layer of protection

Get tested yearly for HIV and other STIs.
If you don’t use condoms and/or PrEP, test more frequently

Some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other more easily acquired STIs. It is possible to show no signs or symptoms from an STI so testing is the only way to know.

Get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.

What’s the ONLY way to know if you’ve been infected by HIV or an STI?
Get tested.

And do you think PEP would be effective after 40 hours?

Thanks for answering so fast. This forum is such a blessing, you do a great work helping everyone.

I am not actually sexually active with strangers, I am very cautious because of this fear.

The reason why I say I didn’t trust the guy is because he was acting weird, probably horny I guess.

Could you answer me one more question?

Another thing that’s scaring me a lot is the fact that this guy had something he was holding with his mouth. It looked to me like a stationary bulldog clip, but it could also be the keys to a locker I don’t know.

I’m just wondering if this had it all planned, and maybe hurt his finger before putting in me. Would blood here be a risk? Or is it the same thing as pre cum?

Sin riesgo por el VIH

[As for the frotting, after I finished masterbating him it was a few seconds before I touched myself and finished myself with the same hand….

Does HIV die within seconds? Minutes? I would imagine I had some of his semen enter my urethra.

Dead or alive isn't even an issue. It looses its ability to infect as the receptors breakdown outside the confines of the body.

However, it's irrelevant as your concern lacks any of the simultaneously needed conditions to aquire HIV.

Please don't post about this again, thank you

If you had gaping open holes in you head like meath mouth then I would tell you giving a blowjob is a minute HIV risk to you. So minute that it doesn't warrant testing outside the standard yearly screening.

Stop asking me questions that have already been answered. You have bleeding gums sometimes and gave a blowjob, it's been asked, read and answered already.

Move on with your life

Hi Jim,

I’ve been reading through other forums on here and just wanted to ask:

How extreme would oral health have to be for me to possibly be infected? Could I be one of those “unlucky” people? I’m sure you get this question a bajillion times but sometimes I just can’t accept it (mental paranoia literally is the worst)

As for the frotting, after I finished masterbating him it was a few seconds before I touched myself and finished myself with the same hand….

Does HIV die within seconds? Minutes? I would imagine I had some of his semen enter my urethra.

Again I’m sorry for asking essentially the same questions
 Basically if I have good or okay oral health would I absolutely have 0 risk for the blowjob I gave

Thank you!
