Advice needed...
« on: October 21, 2007, 02:26:47 pm »
Let me start by giving a BIG Thank You to the staff of aidsmeds.com for doing such a great job for people who need to discuss, get info or get help! We are really appreciated! Thank you!

And then my story. I'm a little bit concerned for my actions and need advice from you guys. Some 7 weeks ago I was having a good time and had some drinks of course. I wasn't "totally wasted" but a little bit drank like funny way, you know. I got separated a couple of weeks before this and was obviously looking for a people to hug to or whatever. Somehow me and my friends decided to go a legal brothel and I got hooked with a good looking lady. We discussed for a while and then made to her room to do make it out. First she gave me a unprotected blowjob (I didn't have any bruises or anything, I wasn't bleeding) and she didn't bleed either. A normal blowjob for maybe 5min. Then se put a condom on, put a little bit of massage oil / baby oil over condom to make it more slippery and we made it out for 10min. 2 positions, no anal. I didn't come. Then she removed the condom and started to give me handjob. She took more of the baby oil, jerked and spitted a couple of times to my dick to make it more slippery again. I didn't come. Then I jerked myself while watching her and she massaged my balls to make it easier. I came, paid and left.

I have read many threads from this forum and it seems that I had zero risk situation. I went to have full STD panel (when they do, they do full STD panel or nothing in my country) on day 9 - negative. I talked to this doctor and she said that regarding HIV I shouldn't worry. Then se advised me to take 3months test for Hepatite-B and for HIV (just to clear my mind of this incident). Regarding Hepatite-B, I went to have first shot 2 days from the incident and had the second shot 4 weeks after the first. I read that even after Hepatite-B infection you can fix the situation by having shots as Hepatite-B has 3 months window period.

I'm a bit worried now for HIV as I have read so much info from different websites. Many say I shouldn't read but I can't help myself. When I didn't touch my computer for 3 days I felt so much better (worked out, made some jogging, sports etc.).

Again, appreciated of your hard work for people all over the world! God bless!

The bottom line is you were not at risk in this situation for HIV transmission. So take a breath now and let go of that concern.

You do need to remember that only a water-based lube should be used with condoms. Oil-based can cause breakage. Fortunately that didn't happen in your case.

Getting a blowjob, a handjob and any of the other particulars otherwise mentioned -- none of those are a risk for HIV transmission. Zilich risk.

It sounds like you're in an emotionally sensitive period after a breakup. Avoid mixing casual sex with heavy drinking. It's a dangerous combo that affect your ability to negotiate safer sex. This time it wasn't a problem, but watch for that. In terms of HIV as long as you always use a condom for intercourse it doesn't matter if your partner is HIV+ or not. Condoms do a very effective job of protecting you.

This time out no cause for further concern.

Cheers,
