Rectal Massage
« on: August 08, 2012, 11:48:59 pm »
Hi Experts,
I went to get a Tantra Massage 2mnths ago. Possibly the stupidest thing i have every done, I have never had I have never had unprotected sex etc. This lady who is a professional offered "Male G Spot Massage" in which she inserted her hand in my ass.. and massaged me after pouring oil. A month after that i got sore throat and headaches, Now recently i am getting dandruff type rash on my face it sort of looks like blisters. I am extremely worried. My ques is
1) Am I at risk from this exposure?
2) do my symptoms are a cause of concern?
3) should i get tested? and has anyone ever got HIV from Male G Spot Massage?

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

You never had an exposure.

You had no exposure, unless by "rectal massage" you mean "unprotected receptive anal sex."

"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

Mr,

Hiv isn't hanging around on the skin of those us who are hiv positive, just waiting jump on you and infect you. So what if she put her whole arm up your bottom. She can't ejaculate from her arm, so how are you going to get infected? There has to be an exchange of body fluids up your pooper before hiv can be transmitted.

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 SPECIFICALLY OVER A MASSAGE, 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!

 I have been getting dandruff kind of flaking on my face which I never had before. I googled that and found out that it's called seboric dermatitis and one  . This point made me very concern is it true I heard that it would be a late sign my exposure was 3 months ago. Should be worried. Can stress and anxiety cause this? Or is it HIV related I have to wash my face with shampoo in the morning to get it off.

Mr,

Stop diagnosing yourself and show your flaky face to a doctor.

Whatever is going on has NOTHING to do with a virus for which you have not been at risk.

If you read the Welcome Thread before posting like you're supposed to, you will have read the following posting guideline:

Quote

Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusive negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to a four week Time Out (a temporary ban from the Forums). If you continue to post excessively after one Time Out, you may be given a second Time Out which will last eight weeks. There is no third Time Out - it is a permanent ban. The purpose of a Time Out is to encourage you to seek the face-to-face help we cannot provide on this forum.


Please consider yourself warned!
