Can I be Infected with HIV after a Prostitute Performed a Ha Posted: 03-23-06 12:07pm
A week ago I came in contact with a female
prostitute. No intercourse, she wanted to
perform a bj but I said no so she
performed masturbation on me. I had hand
lotion in my car that she applied on her
hands before starting the hand job. I went
into this website which I think is
incredebly useful and I figure I explain
my situation. I am obviously very
concerned so I would like to ask you a few
questions that I hope might help future
readers:
I didn't see any blood and I am wondering
under that set of circumstances what are
the chances of contracting hiv?.
Is the use of a lubricant creates a
deterrent for transmission?.
In case there would have been an open cut
on the female's hand what would be the
chances of contarcting it?.
If no symptoms take place after three
weeks and a test done comes negative what
are the odds?.
I am sure I might have a million questions
after this but I would really appreciate a
response since I might be taking things
out of proportion and i am getting quiet
anxious.
Thank you

HIV, Aids Answer A684 Posted: 04-07-06 13:29pm
HIV is contained mainly in the blood,
sperm, and vaginal discharge. Infection is
spread when one of the three body liquids
comes into contact with an open wound on
your skin or mucosa. An open wound
(defect) on your skin or mucosa doesn’t
have to be visible with the eye. During
sexual intercourse (oral, anal or vaginal)
without a condom there are always
invisible defects on the genital, anal or
oral mucosa and there is a risk of viral
transmission. Let me answer your
questions:
1. In your case, if the female prostitute
didn’t have a bleeding wound on her
hand, there is no chance for HIV
transmission.
2. If the lubricant or lotion she used
contains an antiseptic substance, the risk
of transmission is decreased.
3. If the woman had a bleeding wound
present on her hand, you can get infected
only if you also had an open wound on your
penis. If your penis has no open defects,
you couldn’t get infected.
4. In case of HIV-infection, a period of
three weeks is not enough for antibodies
the against HIV to be produced and
detected by HIV tests ...or for symptoms
of AIDS to be manifest. You can get an
accurate account of HIV antibodies in the
system 6 months after potential exposure.
Be careful to whom you are giving your
penis to play with!!!
