Is there significant chance of HIV transmission via Fleshlight?

Hello! I recently asked a question a few weeks ago regarding an Oraquick at home test and it’s reliabilities (which your responses helped calm my anxiety a great bit!) and I was wondering about HIV transmission via a Fleshlight. If a person who has hiv ejaculates into a Fleshlight and another person uses it immediately, is that a high risk? Thank you so much!

HIV is a fragile virus that looses its activity out of the body. There has never been a single transmission this way, basically because there cannot be.

The only transmission ways are :
-Unprotected anal/vaginal penetrations.
-Sharing needles to inject drugs.
-Mother to child.

In some media you still find a lot of "theoretical" risk that have never resulted in a transmission. So, please, read what I have just written.

There is nothing you can add to your activities or sexual encounters apart from what I have just let you know that could be a risk.

All the best,
DragonPulse.

It wouldn't be a risk at any time under any conditions. Only sex risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal and only non-sex risk is sharing needles that you inject with.
