Handjob with abrasion on hands hiv risk

[User123]

Hello,

I had an encounter with a guy from the app whose HIV status was unknown, and we had some sort of play, and the guy was rubbing his penis of my anus for a while, and he wanted to have anal sex, but i refused to do it.
But after i gave him an unprotected blowjob which lasted like less than a minute and he didn't cum into my mouth.
I am worried about oral sex as i could have some scratches on my palate but i am not sure if they could be bleeding though.
How would you assess these episodes such as oral sex and anal frottage - could it be a potential HIV exposure and testing would necessary?

Thank you for your advices and understanding!

Hiya,

Rubbing his penis against your anus isn't an HIV risk, and as for the blowjob, the scratches aren't a route, and the mouth generally lacks a route for HIV to infect. Also, saliva neutralises HIV by damaging the receptors needed to infect human cells. Giving a blowjob is a minute HIV risk that it does not warrant testing outside the standard yearly screening.

Move on with your life. Use condoms for any intercourse, consider PrEP as an additional layer of HIV prevention, and as you are now sexually active, get a yearly STI & HIV screening out of routine.

Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV

Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.

Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.

Kind regards

Jim

Hello,

I went to get tested for HIV to anonymous testing center, and i was given a piece of band aid to cover my finger prick, but i needed to use restroom right after the test, so i had to get rid of this band aid and washed my hands, but on the way out i touched a door handle to exit the room to wait outside for my test results, and i might have done it with my finger prick that was still bleeding a bit. Although i am not sure if there was any blood on that door handle, I am worried if there was any risk of HIV exposure if someone who came to get tested touched the door knob before me and i might have touched their blood with my fresh finger prick?

Thank you for understanding and you help.

HIV is passed through unprotected anal/vaginal sex or sharing injection needles. Once blood as left the body, HIV dies because of the changes in air, temp, etc. You would not be exposed to HIV nor exposure others through touching blood with a cut on your hand or by you leaving blood for someone else to touch.

Unless you have had unprotected anal/vaginal sex or shared injection needles, your fears about contracting HIV are unfounded.

Have a great day,
Michael

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.

Hello,

I met with a guy and gave him a handjob only, and i touched his precum with my hand and later his cum might have been landed on my hand as well. After i noticed that i had a small abrasion on my hand. I am not aware of HIV status of the guy. Would this activity considered an HIV risk exposure in general if cum landed on this abrasion for example. Should i be concerned? Thank you.

HIV is mainly transmitted by unprotected anal or vaginal sex; or by sharing injection needles. HIV quickly dies outside the body due to changes in temperature and air exposure.

A handjob, even with cuts or abrasions, is not a risk for HIV.


Have a good day,
