So I recently just gave this guy a blowjob. We are both clean. But he had precum and I have a open wound. What's the chances of me getting HIV or AIDS? Help please I'm just very nervous and anxious.
View 1 RepliesI had an encounter with someone I don't know his status.We engaged in kisses and masturbation. I am worried because I have a fresh open wound on me feet due to new shoes and the man touched my wound with his hand. His hand had his precum. Am I in danger?
View 2 RepliesI received a handjob from a stripper and afterwards i noticed some blood on my penis (not my own), i wasn't cut or anything and afterward i looked at her hand and lo and behold she was bleeding somewhat. I understand hiv isn't a risk for handjobs but what about with blood involved directly coming out of her wound and into my penis?
View 3 RepliesI performed oral sex on a man the other day, I'm not sure of his status. He didn't ejaculate into my mouth but there may have been some Precum, I don't know. I have bad gums and they bleed at times.. I'm worried I could've been infected. Should I worry?
View 1 RepliesSome doctors say precum does not contain enough virus so it can not transmit HIV, some say it is only theoretically possible for precum to transmit HIV, what is the truth?
View 7 RepliesI had recently had sexual intercourse with a man of unknown status. I have become very concerned because he had mentioned that he has been with over 60 women and has never been checked; however, he said he never has sex without a condom so I am starting to have doubts. I have reason to believe he is telling the truth because he didn’t hesitate to grab a condom, but I cannot be sure that he uses condoms properly every time. I am almost certain the condom did not break. As he went to put on the condom he noticed that he was putting it on the wrong way and turned it over and continued to roll on the condom. At this point precum was present on the outside of the condom. About 10 seconds later we proceeded to have intercourse. We had penetrative sex for about 3 minutes until it stopped. There was no full ejaculation and as stated before, I am almost certain the condom did not break. I have recently read that precum can contain amounts of HIV and although it is said that HIV cannot live outside of the body, I read that it takes a few minutes for the virus to die. It was only about 10 seconds before the precum entered my body. I need to know if an act like this was potential risk of HIV. If someone could give me their input that would be great. Also, I will be getting tested I just would like to know if this was a risk or how much of a risk this was because different doctor sites are saying it could be a risk.
View 1 Replies I'm super stressed. 17 days ago I gave unprotected oral to man who might be HIV positive. (It was about 30 minutes long and I swallowed some precum and deepthroated couple times. After oral my throat was little sore.) 5 days after exposure I had sore throat, but 12 days after exposure awful rash on my stomach started.
I was reading that oral has some risk for HIV (there was one article in which was said that 7-8% HIV+ gets HIV from giving oral.)
The stress is killing me. Cant wait till day 28 to make HIV DUO test.
Was I at risk? Do I need testing? What do experts say about HIV and oral?
I engaged in unprotected fingering and oral sex with a married man of 30+ years at the end of December 2014. He performed oral sex on me and I on him. He did not ejaculate. He did not even get fully erect. He fingered my vagina and anus. There was precum on his penis. I remember touching it with my finger. I do not know if it was on his fingers prior to him putting them in my vagina although it is possible. I do remember a slight pain which makes me think I may have slightly torn at the base of my vagina. This is really scary because of his precum. Prior to putting his finger in my anus, he left the room and went to the bathroom and put petroleum jelly on his finger. He then returned and fingered inside my anus. I don't know if he touched himself before doing so or if precum was on his finger; it may have been. He also rubbed his penis against my vagina. He never penetrated me with his penis and at no time did he ejaculate, again because he never got fully erect. He says he is not HIV+ as he has been tested at some point for life insurance purposes although I don't know how long ago. I also don't know if he is being truthful. I am married and had unprotected sex with my husband approximately 4-5 days later. My husband got sick about a week after that and was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. I have not gotten "sick" although about a week and a half ago, I got a headache, my face under my eyes hurt, it seems like the lymph nodes in my neck were swollen, and my ears started to hurt. I haven't had a fever and I haven't felt "bad." I have been SCARED sick! I can't sleep and think I have been infected with HIV and have infected my husband. Please assess my HIV risk if he is HIV+. I want so badly to move on from this, but I am so scared.

I have been worried for the past week about an incident that happened with me, I met a guy in a sauna ( im male too ) he had an uncircumcised penis . We got talking and went to the backroom to play. He had allot of precum on his penis . which he rubbed my anus with , I was in the moment very horny and so im my moment of madness opened my anus for him ( sorry for the detail ) though there was to my knowledge no penetration. There definitely was him pushing his precum into my anus , and pushing hard against my anus so as to "open me " up. It didn't happen .
Just want to know what my risks are , this is also due to the problem I have of piles and bleeding that occurs . Also he fingered me before hand and may have caused some irritation to that area where he put his precum.
Have I been at risk for infection and do i need to go get tested This discussion is related to Mucous membranes.
Yesterday I meet a guy...There was lots of precum on his penis...I was down with my face down side and he was on top of me..he did not inserted inside my ***. He was humping his dick between my testicals and thighs...there was lot of precum...after some time precum got dry..and it made me itching...I scratched it..this made small cuts and lil blood...again after 3 min my partner placed his penis at the same place with all precum touching the fresh cut...
1 ) Is there a risk of HIV as fresh precum touched fresh cut.
2) As this dry precum made me itching for 5 hr...are there any chances I have got STD
I have an open wound and I have been to the doctors to get it packed and dressed by the nurse. They are closed on the weekend so she told me to change the dressing myself when it needed changed but to make sure the packing stays in. I changed it this morning and the packing slid out! And some of it is still stuck in the wound at the bottom. I'm worried that the wound will close over with the remains of the packing still in it and that the wound will be closing over instead from the inside first. Any advice would be Helpful as I my next appointment with the nurse isn't until Tuesday morning!
View 1 RepliesI was trying to wash my cloth by hand with some amount (large) of fresh sperm on, then I notice that there is a yellow clot (very likely to be someone else's dry sperm)... and I got a wound on finger 10 hours ago (so the wound is probably under the process of vasoconstriction)...
So if:
(1) The clot (dry sperm) contains HIV and
(2) The HIV got activated by the new fresh sperm and
(3) got to the surface of my finger where there is a wound (in recovering, there might be Lymph on the wound)
Will I get HIV?
(1) I was 'flushing' the cloth with warm water (approx. 45-50 degree) (I am using my hand washing it)...
(2) After washing I can feel my hand is sticky, so some of the sperm got on my hand and very likely
If this is regarded as an exposure ... Shall I take PEP as soon as possible?
My wound was leaking at one week post op , then continued till i had dressing change last monday . Dressing stayed dry all week , removed it this morning at 4 weeks post op so could have a shower then realised an arc of fluid was coming out of a central point in the wound - rest of the wound is fine and dry. Not painful and doesnt look infected but I wondered if anyone else has had a wound problem like this , and how long it lasted ?
View 30 RepliesI have this bacteria called IMPETIGO. To be honest it's the worst thing I had in my life. I'm 18 years old and having this kind of bacteria is simply awful. It all started when I returned from the sea side, I was there on holiday with my best friend. During the trip I had nothing, everything was fine, but the last day a juicy wound appeared on my knee. It was itching a bit. The next day when I arrived home another one appeared on my FACE! I was traumatized! I stood like this for 2-3 days, after I told my mom she took me to a specialist. The doctor gave me antibiotics and Fucidin cream. I started the treatment about 3 days ago, the wounds are looking better now. The major problem is that in 6 days from now I'm leaving to London to visit some relatives and they have a daughter, she's 10. I'm so scared that I could give this bacteria to her, I feel so embarrassed. Please help me, could someone tell me if there is any possibility that I can avoid this ?
View 1 RepliesI scraped both of my knees yesterday afternoon. When I got home I washed them with soap and water then let them breathe out a bit. When I went to sleep I put on 2 non-adherent sterile pads and when I woke up, one of them was healing perfectly but the other had a yellow puss come out of it. There is this weird liquid coming out of the scrape and when I put the pad back on for another hour or so today, yellow stuff was still coming out of it. It hurts to move my leg and to put pressure on it. Should I be getting this checked out?
View 1 RepliesMy TKR is 12 days away now and I was told I that if there was a single break in the skin on that leg the op would be cancelled because of the infection risk. Even an insect bite would be a problem...
I have to say I never realised how often my legs had minor wounds... I'm generally quite outdoorsy and I'm permanently covered in bites, bramble scratches, nettle rash (which I always manage to scratch open) etc, or accidental scratches from playing with dogs and cats, or catching my leg on a fence whilst struggling to get my dodgy legs over a style...
i never even think about it, but now I feel like I have to wrap the leg in cotton wool to protect it these last few days... Just got me wondering... What aspect of your surgeries took you totally by surprise? What did you have have to think/worry about that you never even thought about before?
My mother was using a toothpick the other night and poked herself in the mouth pretty hard. Her face started to swell really big she took some Advil that seemed to help with the swelling i am just wondering how or if this is an urgent thing to have looked at, as she and my step father are now on an island and far away from any health care! I am worried she could have an infection!
View 1 RepliesI have a pretty deep laceration to my left index finger but the way that I cut it they could not stitch so they put something they called liquid stitch on it to close it up which has worn off now. It has been 2 weeks now and my finger is very stiff sand I can not bend it at all. Also it aches from time to time and is very itchy. Should I be worried or should i give it more time to heal?
View 1 RepliesI really don't know how it happened or if it was caused during sex. But my clit slit opened. and i don't know what i should do. It did not hurt at all or did i bleed. Is this normal? and im trying to think since when it became like that...
View 10 RepliesI have very large fibroids, and I've been offered a few options by different doctors. The first surgeon I saw recommended open surgery. The risks associated with major open surgery are serious. The first, and biggest concern, for me is the risk of waking up without a uterus. I'm quite attached to my uterus. My second concern is the amount of time I'd be out of work. I freelance, and my job is very physical. I will not be able to return quickly, and I don't get paid time off.
I was not on any type of insurance when, March, I found out the problems I'm experiencing are due to fibroids, so I went on Medicaid to pay for medications. Several doctors have recommended that I go on Lupron, which is $800 to $1,200 a shot.
Being on Medicaid, I'm fearful that I won't get the same level of treatment post-op. A few nights in a hospital charity wing can be deadly. Let's face it.
I went to get a second opinion from a doctor who referred me to a the head of robotic surgery at the hospital. She told me my fibroids can be removed laparoscopically. I researched the procedure, and the surgeon I was referred to, and I'm on the fence about what I should do. The surgeon would need to break up the fibroid in order to get it out, and when the FDA began discouraging its use she was quoted in an article touting it. "It needs more research." Well, I'm on public assistance. I'm on public assistance and I'm not stupid.
I'm between a rock and a hard place here, because none of my options are good. Morcellation spreads cancer in 1 out of every 350 myomectomies, which is why the machine is being recalled.
Do I take that gamble? Open surgery sounds terrible, and it will set me back for a long time--and that's if everything goes right! So should I risk laparoscopic surgery and hope that I get on with my life safely, or do I get the traditional major surgery? My friends and family are pushing me to get a laparoscopic myomectomy but I have reservations. I've also been exposed to a lot of chemicals, because I'm a painter. I've since been more diligent, if not militant, about safety and protection... but exposure is exposure. I worry about it. Certain types of cancers do run in my family, ovarian, uterine, cervical, etc. not being among them. Other endocrine related cancers do run in my family, along with diabetes and endocrine conditions not related to cancer. My mother had endometriosis, and both my mother and sister would get ovarian cysts. I, however, do not.
I just had surgery done on Fri April first. 4 days ago. Today (will be) Tuesday. What was supposed to be a quick, easy surgery requiring the 3 small holes in the uterus to take out fibroids w possibly an inch incision if they couldnt take it out, they opened up "a can of worms" and had to cut a 6 inch incision horizontal "c-section" at the bikini line to get fibroids and endometriosis taken out while manipulating the bladder and filling the stomach up w gas so they can see everything. Recuperation was originally supposed to be 2 weeks but has been changed to 6 weeks w post follow up in 3 weeks. Can anyone tell me if they have had a similar "procedure" done, what I can expect in the next "6 weeks" and how going back to work will be like. My part time day job-25 hrs a week is an easy non stressful behind the desk answering calls and at the computer. My 40 hr week FT is more physical, working in a laboratory, living heavy items up to 50lbs, LOTS of standing in one place, and if there is sitting, its a stool. Please help me out. I'm 33, 5'5, 123 lbs. I'm not a big girl, but not too skinny either, toned.
