No risk for hiv, but there are other stds that a condom won't protect and it only takes skin to skin contact.

Hello,
is there a big chance that I may have gotten skin-to-skin stds? This was the first time I had sex in my life (and I don't plan doing it again any time soon).
Will the skin std kill me, or is there cure?

Please be aware - condoms do not protect 100% from hiv. Less that 0.5% usually have manufacturing defects that may allow hiv transmission. Also, condoms have to be used carefully and properly for them to provide protection.

Skin to skin stds generally do not kill anyone. But diseases like herpes or chlamydia can cause a lot of trouble and are difficult or impossible to cure.

The best advice - do not have sex with multiple partners or prostitutes. Get married and be safe and alive.

Knightoflight, syphilis if left untreated and cause death. Always use condoms with plenty of water base lube for vaginal or anal sex. Enjoy and keep your sex life protected at all times.

The 'prostitute' paradox

if 'aids' ('hiv') was sexually transmitted, we should find it in sex-trade workers. The following references, including five studies published in prestigious scientific journals, demonstrate no sexual transmission.

In this study, the authors estimated overall and cause-specific mortality among prostitute women. They recorded information on prostitute women identified by police and health department surveillance in colorado springs, colorado, from 1967 to 1999. The authors assessed cause-specific mortality in this open cohort of 1,969 women [...]

violence and drug use were the predominant causes of death, both during periods of prostitution and during the whole observation period. [...] deaths from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome occurred exclusively among prostitutes who admitted to injecting drug use or were inferred to have a history of it.

Well again terry seems to find fit to cut and paste outdated denialist's crap.

Do you not have anything better to do with your victimhood then police this board. Do back to bed and get some sleep girl. Denialist is your favorite word right. Like anti-war actvists are war denialist. Lol

You know what is really funny? You didnt seem to care about skin to skin while you were engaging in sex . Whatever you get is well deserved. And fyi cause you seem to be really dumb and ignorant you dont catch std's by skin contact you sick pervert!

Terry who asked you? You don't like it now do you girl?

^troll alert

Everyone just stop this - look back at the messages you've all written.

All looks rather childish doesn't it.

I've had it with this forum, you're all as mad as a box of frogs.

Jeez - you guys need to chill out!

This was all rather silly wasn't it... I know four year olds who seem to be more mature than you look from this thread, calm down and take a breath before you answer maybe you'll actually give someone some good advice and .H.E.L.P them - (general idea on health forums if you remember) and stop reverting to name calling!

In heterosexual intercourse, men are less likely to get hiv then women. That is because usually the fluids from the female do not make it inside the male's bloodstream. However, for females, the male's fluids often do penetrate the vagina, therefore, entering the bloodstream.

Hiv is quite rare in many countries, however, if it was in america, then it is more likely.
