HIV and handjob masturbation
i had been to a massage parlor,where the girl gave me a blowjob and then cleaned the semen with a wet towel,she might be using the same towel for all his customers,is there any risk of HIV virus being transmitted?
Hi There,
Thank you for using AIDS Vancouver as your source of HIV/AIDS related information.
Before addressing your concerc, I would like to mention that who you engage sexual encounter with (age, gener, sexual preference, ethnicity, occupation, etc) do not matter, rather what you do (unprotected anal/vaginal intercourse) do matter the most when it comes to transmission of HIV.
It is important to note that receiving oral sex is considered a negligible risk activity that means there is no cinfirmed reported case of HIV in this way, as saliva contains enzymes which kill the virus.
As far as the towel is concerned, there is absolutely no risk for infection as HIV is a very weak virus and actually dies very quickly when exposed to the air.
To acquire HIV, you must have an activity, a fluid, and direct access to the bloodstream. Thus, based on the experience you recounted, you have a negligible risk activity and no access to the bloodstream.
We do recommend that people who are sexually active get tested regularly to know their status, and to protect themselves and their partners.
I hope that you find this information helpful.
If you have any further questions and/or concerns, please feel free to call/email us.
In Health,

Hi
Hi
I had a girl sat on my penis rubbing her vagina against it for a few minutes. We both had our underwear on.
Will you be able to let me know if this is something that I should be concerned about please?
Thank you
Hello,
Hello,
No, the situation you discribed poses no risk for the passing of HIV. Since there was no penetration, there would be no real way for sexual fluids to make contact with the mucous membranes of the penis or vagina. Hope this helps to reassure you.
Thanks,

Masturbation with a gal
Hi, I recently had a gal masturbate my manhood till ejaculation. I ejaculated on her hands which she washed. At the same time, I did insert my finger on her vagina, though I did not have any form of cuts or openings. After ejaculation, I wiped off the dirt. Is there a risk of HiV infection. Advice please.
Hello
Hello and thank you for choosing AIDS Vancouver as your source for HIV/AIDS related information.
Inserting your fingers into her vagina is a no-risk activity. In order for transmission of HIV to occur, there needs to be direct access to the bloodstream, which there was not in this situation.
We do recommend for those that are sexually active to get tested regularly; this could be every few months, bi-annually or annually.
I hope this helps to address your concerns!

prostate massage hiv
hi went for a tantric massage in which the csw game me an unprotected handjob and fisted me with a vinyl glove on she used some strange oil 7 month after that i have follicultis which is considered an hiv syptom i never had sex just handjobs and rectal massages could i have acquired hiv? if the oil was contiminated?
Re: Concerns
Hi,
Given that HIV cannot survive outside the body for very long (a matter of seconds to minutes), it is extremely unlikely that you could have been exposed to HIV through the scenario you describe even were the oil contaminated. Indeed, I do not feel that the scenario you desribe poses any real risk for the transmission of HIV. In addition, folliculitis is not caused by HIV infection, instead foliculitis is caused by a bacterial infection of the hair root, and is not uncommon, especially in areas of the body that are exposed to friction.
Hopefully this helps to answer your questions, and please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further concerns.
All the best,
Jonathan
