Am I At Risk ? Please Reply Posted: 05-13-05 00:01am
Recently I had met a female who is a
prostitute.I did not involve in vaginal or
anal intercourse with her.I just did some
romance with her like kissing (not deep)
and cuddling. Also we did mutual
masturbation. I kept my finger in her
vagina for couple of times. I don't have
any fresh cuts on my fingers, however
there are some small areas on my finger
tips where the skin is slightly peeled
off.My finger tips are always like this.
I am repenting now that I should not have
done that - no peace of mind.
I have seen many health forums and there
it is said the risk is low.But I guess it
is non-zero.
Guys do you think I should worry much
about this ? Also I guess I should wait
for 3 months for getting elisa test.I
would like to hear from you people as what
you think are my chances of getting
infected.
Also I have decided not to have sex with
strangers :(
please reply with your comments......

You probably don't have anything...The
risk you took...Very minimal...It takes
some real liquid transfer, like lots of
blood contact etc.
Still...You will be wondering, so take the
test in three months, and don't do it
again I guess.
Lol...I don't think you have to obstain
from having sex...Just be cautious...Ware
a condom please.
:)
peace

Cool,
i was just thinking, while I wouldn't be
as concerned about hiv...You might
consider getting screened for std's.
It also might be benificial to you to go
to a clinic, and talk with the Dr...Or
counselor about the situation...They would
have more accurate advise as they deal
with these things daily, and it might ease
your mind.
Any time you consult an std clinic it is
alway private, so no worries about it
getting out to family etc...Or even being
on your medical record exactly.
The people that work in that enviroment
deal with these things...And much worse on
a daily basis, so no need to feel
embarrased.
Just some thoughts.
Peace

No need to worry, nor should you run and
get a test from what you described.
Sure, the risk is one of the lowest
(scientifically speaking), but it's even
lower because you can't say that the
female was hiv poz. Fingering is just
not considered the most favorable routes
of transmission for hiv. It's pretty
difficult to catch, and it doesn't go
"looking" for you.
What you can conclude is that you're in
pretty need of some serious sex!
Make sure you are protected and go and
have some fun!

Thanks good advice for your good advice.
I slowly started feeling much better.Let
me wait for 3 more months.Incase I still
have fears - I will get tested.If not I
won't.
Coming to sex and fun.Yeah sex is most
wonderful gift that god has given to human
being.
This has been my first experience with a
woman and I thorougly enjoyed every moment
I spent.Sex is what my brain thinks about
50% of time :)
but everything comes for a pay.You need to
take lot of precautions to have sex wih
strangers.This precautions are not 100%
guaranteed and they reduce the fun in
sex.For example what is the enjoyment if a
person has to
use condomn for intercourse.
Use dental dams to touch a beautiful
female part of the body.
Use gloves to finger her inner secrets.
Can't touch her for fear of getting other
skin diseases.
One cannot enjoy sex with perfect freedom
and fearlessness.
Oh...I am getting bit philosphical :)
once again thanks guys for your replies

Yes, I believe that sex is not a
requirement. However, I do believe sex
is an art. As a male with your first
encounter, you will continue to think
about sex 50% of the time, only because
it's wonderful.
True sex requires for you to admit that
you really don't know anything about the
art of sex. If you would only consider
sex as an art and you are the artist,
always remember that the artist always
makes sure that his "masterpiece" (so to
speak) is protected.
Protection is needed for yourself, but you
should additionally value the effects of
your partner. He/she or whatever does
not deserve to catch anything, especially
if you are one to have multipe partners.
When you are ready to be in a steady
sexual relationship, like engagement or
marriage, the art will take you to a place
where you have never been before.
Until such time, use protection.
Remember, it only takes a lack of
responsibility to catch hiv. Even if you
are having unprotected intercourse for a
couple of minutes and then put the condom
on, you are assuming the risk.
If you are old enough to live for sex,
then you are old enough to live with an
hiv and all of the fears that go with
it.
I'm so happy that you are taking my advise
and are listening. Don't ever forget!

Fingering Risk Posted: 05-19-05 06:30am
Also consider that there have been no
reported cases of hiv infection through
fingering in the 25 or so years we've
known about it. Therefore you must
think:
- how many times people have engaged in
this practice (billions)
- how many of them had little peels of
skin from their fingers (ditto)
- how many of them didn't contract hiv
(apparently, all of them)
