chances of HIV infection ? Posted: 04-29-08 20:54pm
I posted on the forum, and just found out
I can ask doctors here. I had sex early
this morning with a girl who is involved
in drugs (I don't know if she used
needles) and is probably quite
permiscuous. I don't know if she is hiv
positive or not, and I wouldn't trust her
answer either way. I used a condom but
there is a catch: Previous to protected
intercous, I fingered her. Obviously, I
had her vaginal fluids on my fingers. I
then put on the condom. I had touched the
inside of the condom (the part that makes
contact with my penis) with my fingers. Is
this a risk for me? I would have gotten
test right away, but I am aware that i
must wait 3 months for accurate results. I
have gotten an HIV test in the past, so I
am not afraid to do so again. I just want
to know if I am at risk?

no, you are not.The virus dies within 30
seconds of contact with oxygen. If it will
make you feel better then by all means get
tested but the chances that you got the
virus this way is slim to zero.

Oh wow that is a big relief! I had read
that it could survive hours on CDC, and
that got me very worried.
