Question about this risk.
« on: June 13, 2011, 09:58:39 am »
HI
Sorry for my bad English ... I use a web translator.
I have a question about fingering masturbating...
I read very contradictory information about this risk... or situation.
I went to a massage parlor ... After the massage, man massage me in the anus and insert 2 fingers in my anus for a couple of minutes (rimming think?), I saw that I put oil and lubricant in my ass ... was without gloves or condoms. There was no penile penetration.
There is a risk for me of getting hiv???
or maybe if your toes could get some precum as it may have touched his penis ...???
I am very worried ... the first time something like this happening to me ..
Supposedly is a prostate massage ... I have no bleeding or anything so ..
I need HIV test? at 3 months ?
Do not know what the HIV status of man ... I saw that his fingers had no injuries .. or cuts.
Help me I am very worried ...
4 months before i make my annual health  lab check and i am negative for stds and hiv...
THANKS A LOT FOR YOU FOR YOURS ANSWERS.

jfb,

Perhaps you should post in the Spanish Forum - ¿Estoy infectado?

Getting a prostate massage is absolutely not a risk for hiv infection. Not one person has ever been infected through being fingered and you are not going to be the first.

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

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

jfb,

You do not need testing over this specific incident. However, if you are sexually active, we do recommend regular, routine testing.

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 OVER BEING FINGERED, 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.

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