Unprotected oral and protected vaginal
« on: March 12, 2015, 10:58:34 am »
Hey, I had unprotected blow job, unprotected oral sex, protected vaginal sex, deep French kissing, and fingering with same escort twice in two weeks. My first incident with her was feb 16, 2015 and the last meeting was on March 4, couple of days after my last meeting I got cold sore on my lip, which is almost gone ( little redness is still there) but I got the white stuff on my tonsils, tonsils are pretty red and tender. Last night there was some bleeding in throat too.
1) is unprotected blow job from an escort and performing oral on her is any risk for HIV? If not, why and what kind of stds I can get from this, which could be related to my symptoms?
2) what kind of risk does deep French kissing pose??
3) protected vaginal sex ( I made sure after putting the water in the condom to check any leakage) is actually protected or not from hiv? Why Internet say it is just the safer sex but not totally safe sex? Has anyone you have seen got hiv from protected sex mentioning that condom stayed on whole time and didn't break? Thank you!

Oral sex is not a risk for infection.  HIV is a very fragile virus that becomes damaged immediately when leaving the host, where changes in temperature, pH and moisture levels, alter the HIV rendering it unable to infect.  The mouth is another barrier in that it contains over a dozen proteins and enzymes that alter the HIV leaving it unable to infect.

There have been no fewer than three separate serodiscordant couples studies (where one person is HIV positive, the other negative.) These couples were tracked for three. five and ten years. The couples used condoms for penetrative vaginal and anal sex, but NO BARRIER at all for oral sex. Any kind of oral sex.

These studies yielded NO infections.

French kissing is not a risk for infection.

The risk factors for HIV are ...

Sharing IV drug needles immediately after use.
Unprotected anal and vaginal sex.
Mother to child during or shortly after birth.
Very specific health care situations.

Protected sex is not a risk for infection.  An intact condom means no risk.  You have not had a risk and you do not need to test over this incident.

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 STDs 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!

Thanks for the reply!! So I get that nothing I have done has put me on the risk of hiv! Right? I got couple of more questions, hope you don't mind answering!
1) what are the other stds I can catch from my exposure, which you think might be related to my symptoms?
2) what do you mean by consistent and correct use of condom? If my condom didn't break and I used it everytime I penetrated her. Does that mean I have used it consistent and correctly? And I'm not at risk of hiv?
3) we used the non-latex condom which is I believe polyisoprene condoms. Any risk using those ones? Thank you!

An intact condom means no risk and using one every time means no risk.  If your symptoms concern you, please consult your doctor as it has nothing to do with HIV.
