Hi

Cunnilingus, getting your penis sucked, the intercourse using condoms were not HIV concerns.

Quote
with a man unprotected oral sex

The only near negligible HIV risk mentioned here would be if you gave the man a blowjob, its nothing we recommend testing over the concern as its such a near negligible concern. See the virus is very fragile, and your mouth has dozens of protein and enzymes that damage the virus and render it unable to infect. There is no need to worry/stress or run test every time you give a blow job, just get tested the next time you are due for a regular checkup

Quote
i have a sore on my penis

If you are planning a monogamous relationship in the future than you could test together for easier to transmit STI's & HIV, its a start, not a guarantee for the future as any unprotected intercourse, including that with your wife as example meets all the biological conditions needed for acquiring HIV. 

Now I don't judge couples that decide to engage in unprotected intercourse, its often based on trust within a relationship, however just note this trust or faith does not prevent HIV and any unprotected intercourse is simply accepting a possible risk to you of acquiring HIV.

Any sexual contact poses a risk for far easier to transmit STI's, condoms reduce some of that risk not all. Think about skin to skin contact STI's etc hence its "safer" not "safe" sex.

So to sum it up, the encounters you posted here range from no-risk whatsoever to a near negligible concern not worth testing over in regards to HIV, as for the sore well,  see a doctor and treat it and, regarding the wife test together if you are planning a monogamous relationship in the future

Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, every time, no exceptions.

Keep in mind that some sexual practices which may be described as ‘safe’ in terms of HIV transmission might still pose a risk for transmission of other STI's, so please do get fully tested regularly and at least yearly for all STI's including but not limited to HIV and test more frequently if unprotected intercourse occurs

Also note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms and the only way of knowing is by testing.

Please don't attempt to create multiple accounts as it will lead to a ban.

The only HIV risks you had were:

*Near negligible, giving a BJ to another man.

*Not mentioned here past or any future unprotected intercourse.

1 No risk
2 No risk
3 No risk.

Cunnilingus, getting your penis sucked, the protected intercourse are not HIV concerns.

HIV can not transmit through an intact condoms, Getting your penis sucked is not a HIV risk, saliva is not HIV infectious, in fact it contains over a dozen elements that neutralize HIV.  Now there hasn’t been a single documented case of HIV transmission to an insertive partner (the person being "sucked") it lacks all the conditions needed and no matter what the condition of your penis it is not going to change this.

As for cunnilingus, see the fluid a woman produces when sexually excited comes from the Bartholin's glands, this is a lubricating fluid and does not have any viable HIV present, next to a number of other barriers meaning this activity is no HIV risk.

Your risk assessment has not changed and you are asking me about the same activities again when i've already answered.  Let me be clear if you go out tomorrow and do it all again my answer is not going to change.

The only HIV risks you had were:

*Near negligible, giving a BJ to another man.

*Not mentioned here past or any future unprotected intercourse.

Asked and answered.

Let me be crude and clear about this, if he had squirted his cum all over your penis directly, and had enough left for her face, mouth etc and than she than gave you a blowjob no matter what the condition of your penis all of this would still not be a HIV risk.

I've already answered this question.

How and how many times you ask me is not going to change the answer.

Please don't post about this nonsense again, its irrelevant irrational and nothing to do with HIV its just irrational fears and this is a HIV forum not a therapy session.

Move on with your life, continue to use condoms for any intercourse NO exceptions and test out of standard routine like every sexually active adult should at least yearly for easier to transmit STIs and HIV

Hi Jim,

Greetings from India.

Jim i would like you to assess my risk which i had recently.
I am paying for sex I am heterosexual male so i have been visiting girls from past year and I don’t recall however i have paid for sex like 15 times.
I’ll be completely honest with you with all the incidents i hope you will take time to read it.
1- So i have been paying for sex and i have a sore beneath my penis head it is since way back and I don’t remember when i had it it does not bleed but it pains when it is squeezed. For every sexual intercourse i have received un protected blow job with sore on penis and gave oral to women and do have bad teeth health as i used to smoke meth and i have few teeth removals also bleeding gums. So is it an hiv risk bad teeth removal as well giving oral to women and receiving oral sex with sore in penis head from men and women.

2-  For ever vaginal and anal sex i have used condoms no exceptions and i have tried to check some condoms by filling up water to see if it is broken. Sometimes the partner gave me the condom but i did not bother to check the quality and expiration date but there was never a condom failure known to me. As you say in many post that condom failure is obvious so from my knowledge it never happened and you know mind plays what if. So is this a HIV risk.

3- At a particular incident a women was on top of me and i did not had condom on so i grabbed my penis so it should not enter enter vagina without any protection i did not felt that I inserted it. Jim is it possible not to know and i have inserted my penis?

4- Jim with all the incidents i had do i have to worry as i am very worried and run for a test the incidents which i have shared to you please help me.

5- And you say test at 6 weeks by blood withdrawn from veins can you share the specific test name of any test with blood withdrawn is fine?

Please help me and do assess as i am freaked out.

Hiya,

well, it's been a while, but most of this you have asked and I answered before.

Asking again about the same activities isn't going to change the answers I provide, so read back the thread and apply the information provided previously. I'm only going to answer or comment on new questions.

1: Asked and answered before, the condition of your teeth changes nothing.
2: Asked and answered before. The only thing I have to add is that testing the condoms after intercourse, don't. It's not needed at all and could damage the condom, as it's not designed as a reusable (re-stressed) product and this could lead you to mistakenly think that the condom was damaged during sex, when in fact you actually caused the damage after the intercourse by trying to "test" it with water. In short, testing the condom yourself is not a reliable way to tell you anything.

Testing condoms yourself is basically a step shy of paranoia if you ask me. Instead, use condoms correctly and consistently. If they don't obviously break during the act of intercourse there is no reason to stress about HIV from the intercourse, just move on with your life and test out of routine at least yearly.

Prehaps consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as next to an additional layer of prevention in the future, it may also provide you with some peace of mind.

3. No, end of story.

4. Nothing mentioned here warrants standard HIV & STI testing outside of the yearly routine.

5.  See 4. This is a question presuming you had a risk that warrants testing outside of routine and you don't from what you posted here at least you didn't. So I am unwilling to pretend you do. The clinic will know what test to run during a standard yearly STI check and I am not pretending what you posted needs any specific testing outside of routine.

Oh yes Jim i am married and expecting a baby

:)

Well, congrats on the marriage and I wish you and your partner the best with your firstborn. My only advice is to enjoy this time, it goes by fast and prehaps buy a good camera, so you can look back one day.

Finally from an HIV point of view, i'll mention the same thing I do whenever anyone mentions being in a relationship. If you engage in condomless intercourse with your partner, you are obviously at risk of acquiring HIV. Often within relationships, condomless sex is based on trust or past test results; however, this does not prevent HIV. Any condomless intercourse accepts the greater risk of acquiring HIV.

Test more frequently for HIV & STI's if you do engage in any condomless intercourse.

Here's what you need to know to avoid HIV infection:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, every time, with no exceptions. Continue taking PrEP as an additional layer of HIV protection

Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as 'safe' in terms of HIV might still pose a risk for other STI's, so test regularly and at least yearly for STI's including but not limited to HIV. Test more frequently should condomless intercourse occur.

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

Kind regards

Jim

1. Go to a clinic and have them look and treat whatever is causing the sore on your penis. It could be any number of conditions, but it could also be an STI.

2. Asked and answered previously

3. Asked and answered previously, also ill say it again stop filling condoms with water.

4. If what you posted here was your only sexual activity, then I see no reason for HIV testing outside of the standard yearly routine.

Yes Jim I hve shared my details in full there is no benefits in hiding.
 
Jim so what you say is if someone uses condom for all the sexual behaviour and suppose there is no condom failure there’s nothing to worry about HIV at all and no testing required if condom is used and it does not fails?

This will be last question i know i have been here withi 5 years!!!

You need to apply the information provided to you previously. I'm not going to keep answering the same questions or the same questions reworded.

See the clinic and have them check the sore on your penis; as said, it could be several things, including an STI.

What are you trying to ask me? Is the question, what HIV test to get yearly out of routine? After talking to you about your potential risks to the clinic during screening, whatever they offer will do.

If it's a rapid test, a negative result is generally considered conclusive three months after real-world exposure, such as condomless intercourse.

Ugh, such BS.

You are just asking me this question to get a different answer to the question below that you asked this morning when I already told you to get over it and to move on with your life.

be honest there was never a condom failure i water tested it as well but you know like many others i get feeling that if it is broken.

No! You are paranoid and testing for HIV outside of your yearly routine over nothing each time and playing with water isn't going to resolve your fears or guilt from having sex with sex workers.

Anyhow, go get tested after three months with a rapid test and knock yourself out. Not sure why you even ask me.  Do have them check the sore on your penis!

After five years, here is a summary. Your adult risks of acquiring HIV are limited:

- Sex (Intercourse & a minute risk when giving a blowjob)
- Sharing drugs rigs (Syringes)
- Blood transfusions/Blood products (Rare due to screening)

So to reduce your HIV risks, use condoms correctly and consistently for any intercourse. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of HIV prevention.

Finally, as you are sexually active get an HIV & STI screening out of routine yearly.

Hi Jim,

I had few questions please help me.

As I am a sexually active men I always do pay for sex.

1-  Recent i have visited few women’s for a paid sexI always receive unprotected oral sex and there is a penis sore on the penis and i also give oral sex to women as i do not have a proper dental as i do have few missing tooth.

2- I always use condom for all the time vaginal or anal sex and always a new time once i have done.

3- While having sex I noticed some blood on the condom and i have wiped off by using my hand and I really wanted to know if there is an risk here

4- I also have a time when i was having sex with the condom in i did not ejaculate but i have used condom. But i do not know if the condom broke as i always water test it but i did not to that . Recently i have got another sore like pimple on the penis as well and weird feeling on penis

1-  No risk for HIV, although there is a risk for other STIs

2- Great to hear!

3- Not a risk

4- Never water test a condom! Broken condoms are usually in tatters or mostly rolled back up. It's very easy tell and NO test is ever needed.

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.

Hi Guys I really thank you for your services.
I am age 32 M and I have been sexually active and have always paid for sex have met 30 CSW just wanted to ask you questions so that you can help me here.

1- I have been paying for sex and have met 30 CSW and I always use condom no exceptions on that. I always receive unprotected oral sex from male and female(i do have a sore under penis head) and I also give unprotected oral sex to only female.

2- I always use condom for any anal or vaginal sex involved but i have never felt any condom breakage or leave is it easy to tell if it is broken

3- Some time i also involved in MMF act so we also run penis as well together.

I am really scared if i have HIV with this encounters I have done please let me know your assessment so i can be aware what to do.

Asked and answered already.

You have asked about these activities before and we have explained what is an HIV risk and what isn't, we have covered condom usage, PrEP and routine screening, please read back the thread.

Consider taking to a therapist about these fears and to your healthcare provider about PrEP. Talking PrEP as an additional layer of HIV prevention might give you some additional peace of mind during future sexual encounters.

Thank you

Both Michael and I, have answered this.

If you continue to ask repeatedly the same questions I'm going to issue a ban out of kindness to help you move on as this certainly isn't helpful.

After five years, here is a summary. Your adult risks of acquiring HIV are limited:

- Sex (Intercourse & a minute risk when giving a blowjob)
- Sharing drugs rigs (Syringes)
- Blood transfusions/Blood products (Rare due to screening)

28 day ban.

We provide information about HIV and safer sex. We're not here to be therapists or provide emotional/mental health support you eachtime you have sex or an irrational fear.

I do wish you well and the ban is out of kindness, consider talking to a psychiatrist.
