Vaginal fluids leak into condom
« on: November 23, 2024, 05:21:15 am »
First of all, thanks for all support you are providing.

I can say that I'm sexually active straight male always using condom. I got some questions in my mind driving me crazy.

First question is I had vaginal sex with csw , during the vaginal intercourse I discover condom slipped up little bit almost the half of my penis shaft was not covered ( head always covered btw) . During the intercourse I discovered it and pull it down with my fingers again. What scares me is inside the condom I saw some liquids. I am so scared that is vaginal fluids leaked into the condom while it slipped and go through the head of my penis inside the condom. Because when I pull the condom back to down on the shaft of my penis for sure there was vaginal fluids. Is that possible? After I am done I took out the condom and get washed. And another thing there was a cut on my upper pubic area closer to belly side and I covered it with a small plaster. Do you think hiv is enable to infact in those situations.Recently I am scared coz I lost weight lie 3 kg . I dont know its because of my anxiety or coz I got infected.
 
Second question is vaginal fluid touched the cuts on hands and recieving handjob with vaginal fluid. Is that possible to get infected by those ways?

Am I at risk?

What I read a lot in this forums deepthroat, kssing etc. is not a risk so I dont want to bother you with those questions.

I will be more than happy if you can give me some answers.

Thanks a lot!

Hiya,

Read your post three times carefully including the "what ifs" and the intercourse, rolling the condom back down, handjob, cut etc and none of it is an HIV concern.

There of course, was a risk for far easier to transmit STIs but no need to panic, continue to use condoms for any intercourse and, as you are sexually active, get an STI screening yearly out of standard routine.

Please don't post about this again, thank you!

Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or easier-acquired correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV and get vaccinated against HPV, Hepatitis A & B.

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

You can find this thread by going to your profile and selecting show own post, which will take you here. It helps us to help you when you keep all your thoughts or questions in one thread, and it helps other readers to follow the discussion. Any additional threads will be removed.

P.S. - Some tips on correct condom usage:

Use approved condoms and check for a certification mark (e.g. FDA, C.E., ISO or Kitemark) because the condom complies with safety standards. Check the expiry date and make sure the condom is still within date.

Use lubricant condom-safe water-based lubricants to make condoms more comfortable and reduce breakage risk. – but avoid oil-based lubricants as they can weaken or break condoms.

As for putting the condom on correctly:

Incorrectly done, the risk of breakage can increase. Place the condom on top of the erect penis and pinch the teat at the end of the condom before you start to roll it down the penis. By doing this, you'll squeeze out any air bubbles and ensure there is room for the semen (cum). Roll the condom down to the base of the penis.

If it's on correctly, it will roll downwards easily. If you've started putting it on the wrong way, take it off, and even if you or your partner has not ejaculated (cum), there can still be semen or (pre-cum), so it's important to try again with a new condom. (More to do with risks from other STI's/pregnancy than anything else)

Hold the base of the condom when pulling out after intercourse to prevent leaving it behind and exposing your partner.

Finally, never "test" the condom before or after intercourse. It's not needed at all and could damage the condom, as it's not designed as a reusable (re-stressed) product, and "testing" the condom could lead you to mistakenly think that the condom was damaged during sex when in fact, you caused the damage after the intercourse by trying to "test" it.

Instead, use condoms correctly and consistently. If they don't break during intercourse, there is no reason to stress or test for HIV outside of standard yearly screening.
