Hi,

Please help me, i'm really afraid now

First question :
17th March ago, i met a man with unknown HIV and i've just known him for about 1 week. We had sex but without penetration, only rubbing his penis to my vagina. I read from last posted that this can't transmit HIV, but another web said that this still can transmit HIV if there's a wound in vagina. Is it true? How big the wound so HIV virus can enter to our body?

Second question :
And then I did the hand job and touched his sperm. After that i realized that i had a little bit wound near my nail. if that sperm touched the wound, can HIV transmitted?

Third question :
On 24th March, my boyfriend did the Oraquick test and the result was negative (at least until December 2012, he was still negative). But i'm still afraid and thinking to take the HIV early detection. The representative tell me that HIV early detection can be done 10 days after exposure and the accuracy is 95%. Is it true?

Thanks for reading my question.

Nothing you don't put you at risk of contracting HIV.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

afraid,

Questions one and two:

Rubbing genitals together or on some other part of the body is called frottage and frottage is NOT a risk.

Masturbation is also not a risk, not even if you get cum on 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 quickly damage the virus and render it unable to infect.

For this reason, frottage is not a risk as it takes place OUTSIDE the body.

It's also the reason why getting cum on your hands is not a risk.

Question three:

The vast majority of people who have actually been infected will seroconvert and test positive by six weeks, with the average time to seroconversion being only 22 days.

A six week negative is highly unlikely to change, but must be confirmed at the three month point.

Provided your boyfriend has tested three months after his last incident of unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse, then he is conclusively hiv negative.



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 OVER FROTTAGE OR MASTURBATION, 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 u so much for your answear. Really appreciate this.

Afraid,

You're welcome.

As long as you remember to insist on condoms for intercourse, it won't matter if the guy you're with is hiv positive or hiv negative. Condoms have been proven to prevent hiv infection. Makes sure you read through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can make sure any man you're with is using them correctly.

I would like to suggest that you buy your own condoms and keep some with you. Guys will sometimes try to get out of using them because they claim to not have any. Don't give them that opportunity.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!!!

Hi All,


I just want to know how does condom broke?
Is it just small hole...so it will leaking, or it will rip off.
Could it be that if a man use a condom and he didn't know that the condom that he used was broke? I just had sex with unknown status, but i used condom.
At the end i saw the condom seem fine but just afraid if the condom was broke.

Thanks

Please do not start another thread and make sure to post only in this thread for all your questions . You can find your post by going to your profile and selecting show own post . 


Hi Afraid , condoms are designed to fail catastrophically so that there is no doubt that it broke . You would have known it if the condom broke .
