hello, i have a few doubts about hiv

ok first of all i apologize for my writting, im from mexico city, and there's a couple of questions i would like to ask about hiv transmission statistics and risks.

1. can you get hiv from a hanjob with baby oil? is it even possible?
2. in case you dont, what are the reasons you cant get it?
3. what are the chances for a female to get hiv from an unprotected relation wiht a male possitive?
4. how long do the hiv virus survives outside the body? can baby oil or cream make him last longer?
5. whats the percentage of reliability of a two weeks hiv test?

thank you all for your participation in this forum, i think is very noble thing to do, here in mexico we dont have this type of forums, so for us to get information about hiv and aids its a little more difficult than in usa, again thank you all.

1) No. There is absolutely no way

2) Because unless the person giving you the handjob is covering their hand in blood or semen and smearing it inside your urethra, there is no way for your to be exposed to body fluids. Body fluids are what transmit HIV. Handjobs with baby oil do not involve body fluids.

3) Someone else on here has the exact numbers, I can't remember what they are. Even if the guy is positive, the girl's chances of contracting HIV from a single exposure are low. Obviously, if she's in a relationship with a guy who is positive and has unprotected sex with him all the time, she is going to put herself at a substantial risk of catching it eventually.

4) The virus probably can survive no more than a second or two outside the body. No oil, cream, or any other substance can make it survive longer. That is why HIV transmission tends to occur when infected fluids go straight from one person's body into another person's body.

5) Virtually none. If you get a test only two weeks after an exposure, if you've contracted HIV, it is very unlikely that you will have seroconverted yet. (The median time is 22-25 days, I believe.) After four weeks, the test is fairly reliable, maybe around 80%, if I remember correctly. After six weeks, it is 95% reliable. After twelve weeks, it is over 99% reliable. You should wait six weeks after a potential exposure if you want a result that is pretty conclusive, twelve weeks for a conclusive result.

1) No
2)becouse the trasmision would need an special enviroment to happen, like it has inside the body airtight situation, not outside the body, also becouse the amount of vaginal fluids someone can carry in his hand skin is not even the 1% that is inside the vagina.
3) Receptive unprotected vaginal intercourse has an stimated risk of 1 / 1000.
4) Hiv virus infection power is greatly reduced as soonas it get in contact with air, heat, light, ect. only another body can make the virus last longer, no cream, oil, ect.
5)around 50% at 6 weeks 95%

Hope it helps

i dont know if we can post in spanish but anyway I`ll translate it to you

1) No
2)La transmision tiene que darse en un ambiente especial como el que hay dentro de la vagina o ano, la cantidad de fluido vaginal que una persona puede tener en su mano es menos del 1% de lo que hay dentro de la vagina.
3)El sexo receptivo vaginal no protegido tiene un riesgo calculado de 1 en 1000 pro cada relacion.
4)El poder infecioso del virus se reduce dramaticamente al tener contacto con el aire, calor, luz, ect. y solo otro cuerpo humano puede hacerlo durar mas. ninguna crema, aceite, ect.
5)cerca de un 50% a las 6 semanas 95%

Ojala te ayude Suerte
