Q: could I have contracted hiv
asked by: Vusi on April 7th, 2009

I recently hired a sex worker that I invited to my house. All I asked from her was for her to give me a strip show. I did not touch her even once throughout the strip show. At one point she touched herself in her vagina. After she was done she went to the bathroom to wash her hands. I then drove her to where I had picked her up. I returned after about 30 minutes and washed my hands and face in the same sink that she had used to wash here hands. I then dried my face with a towel that she might have used. I felt a slight pain as I wiped my face (I had a pimple on my face). This sex worker had the flu and almost immediately (few hours) I developed a flu.

It's now almost 3 weeks later (17 days) since that day. The initial flu was mild (no fever but I did cough and have a blocked nose and phlegm) but the worst of it is over. I still have a mild blocked nose and phlegm in my throat. I live in Southern Africa. I test regularly and tested negative 2 months ago.

My questions are:

1) How likely is it that I contracted HIV
2) If I contracted the flu from her, could I have contracted HIV with the flu

You can NOT get HIV/AIDS that way. If you are telling all there is to tell then you are at zero risk for any STD that I know of.

The flu
Hi Ian

I do have the flu now and I think i may have contracted in from the sex worker while we spoke. If for example some particles of flu came my way while we spoke, could i have contracted HIV together with the flu?

Thanks
Vusi
