Title: Sperm on my penis
Post by: robbie76 on April 11, 2013, 10:37:20 am
A few days ago I had a meeting with a guy. The report consisted of a fellatio given by him to me unprotected (I'm not worried as oral reports received are not at risk) and final masturbation with him sitting on my legs. My question is this: if during his ejaculation part or a few drops of his sperm were over accidentally on my glans (which usually is never completely discovered) could have risked something? Thanks to all

You are worrying needlessly. No guy has ever been confirmed to have been infected through his having gotten a blowjob. Not one and believe me, it's one of the most common of sexual activities.

HIV is a fragile virus. Once exposed to the air it quickly becomes non-viable. So the other guy's sperm on your glans is definitely not a risk.

The ONLY confirmed risks for the sexual transmission of HIV are unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse. Period. As long as you consistently use condoms properly for those activities you will be well protected.

This time there is no need for HIV testing. Get on with your life.

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately the Italian sites, doctors never respond in a unique way. I myself have asked this question on various sites and some doctors have advised me to test for risk of HIV infection.

why do you think there are so many different opinions between us and you in Italy?

I have no idea. We source our opinions on scientific data, and not simply reviewing aggregates. Many doctors are not sufficiently motivated to do the former, and rely on the latter - which often includes obsolete, incomplete, unsourced and simply untrue information.
