Was I At Risk?
Posted: 06-10-04 21:42pm

Recently, after months of celibacy, I couldn't take it anymore and I went to a porn shop and sat in a booth of a bookstore. I know it was a stupid thing to do. One guy who seemed pretty clean cut began giving me head and I pushed him away because I didn't feel comfortable or safe letting him do that. I had no cuts or sores or anything else on my penis. And everything was cool to that point. About 10 minutes later he returned and began jerking me off, which was safe, but suddenly he pinched the skin inside of the tip of my penis I think to stimulate, but it was real sharp. Had I realized what was happening, I would have stopped it right there. I don't frequent these places, it was just a moment of weakness. I left right after that. There was no bleeding or cut that I could see, but I felt really uneasy. Two days later, I have a real bad sore throat and a cough I already had from allergies got worse. I felt a little hot, but not running a fever. These symptoms are also going around where I live anyway, so it may be whatever is in the air. Could I be at risk for hiv? When I called the hiv answer desk, they said if there are no cuts or sores, it is a very low to almost no chance of getting it if he was going down on me. Has anyone had an experience like this or had the inside of the tip of their penis pinched for stimulation?

Hey - now im no aids expert.. But when I read your post the thought that popped up in my mind was that if you are/were at risk... You wouldn't be experiencing anything from it yet. Doesn't it take years before you actually even notice anything? And since you said that there was no cuts or anything like that there would be no risk, and even if he was infected he didn't get any blood to blood contact on you, and isn't that how aids is usually spread? So cheer up buddy, theres nothing wrong with you.

I too am not an expert but am pretty sure you are not at risk. But if you are worrying about it get it checked out theres no harm in being safe not sorry. Just go to your gp and ask for a test you don't have to tell him what happened just ask for a full sti test and then you'll know for definate try not to worry and take care :>

Thanks you two. Last time I do something like that. It was the pinch that got me..I was worried if there was an abbrasion I couldn't see. But yes, there was no blood or anything. I will follow the advice and get a checkup. If no symptoms, then i'll wait 6 months so can do the hiv test at the same time. I htink you're right. And it's probably more guilt than real fear.

Should carry a condom. Never know when a handjob can develop into something more passionate.
