Q: Please Respond - Scared.....

I had about five different encounters with different partners, where in I engaged myself in getting masturbated (handjob) by them (without condoms on), and no other sexual activity, except for some dry kissing. As I recall, I didnt see any visible blood on their hands or fingers. However, one of the partners applied some kind of a lotion (which I am not sure if it contained any traces of body fluids) and another partner washed off using a hot wet towel (again I am not sure if the towel had traces of other fluids).

About 2 months after the exposures, I suddenly had low fever which kept coming and going, (mostly high during night times) and receded after about a week or two. After that, I also have been recurringly having sore throat, and cold / cough much more than I used to before. I never got any of those symptoms before. I am getting scared and worried if this may be something related to the encounters I had as mentioned above. What std's am I at risk for, please advise me....... I am completely stressed out due to this....
Should I consult a doctor? Please help me.....

What are the chances of infection if body fluids come in contact from the hands to the penis during mutual masturbation? Please advise....

Thanks a lot
roger.

I think u don't have any hiv risk at all. Handjob will not transmit hiv, and the virus is weak, it won;t survive in the lotion too. You didn;t have sex with them, so ur risk is 0. Other std? Don't know, just go and do a body check.

No Chance
The activities you describe carry no risk at all for hiv. Ask yourself these questions:

1. Why would there be bodily fluids in the lotion?
2. If there was no blood coming from the person, where do you expect hiv to come from?

My answers:

1. There is no plausible way that lotion would carry bodily fluids unless someone intentionally put them in there, which is really very unlikely. More than that, if there was hiv in the lotion, it would not survive more than a few minutes in there after being deposited
2. Hiv cannot simply jump into a person. Infected blood, semen or vaginal fluids must get directly into your bloodstream

don't worry

If they had open sores, perspiration it is possible. Even if their is one-billionth of a percentage the best way to find out is to be checked with your Dr.

Perpiration
Hiv is not spread through perspiration (sweat). If it were then many, many more people would have hiv. A one billionth percentage is not worth worrying about.

No Hiv
No need for any comment here. The original post is not an hiv risk. Of course, we assume we're getting the entire story. However, eople shouldn't run to get hiv tests simply due to a recent hand job. All it will do is drive up the costs of future testings.

If you know you're negative, stay negative.
