Risk for hiv?

[Winner9999]

A female spit her saliva in her hands to give me a handjob I told her not to use her saliva so she rubbed her hands together and we waited about 20 to 30 seconds before she applied lube to her hands and then she performed a handjob on me.

Oral sex is NOT a risk. Presence of saliva restricts HIV transmission. If you want an opinion of a medical professional, see a doctor in your area or find a website where you can pay money to get your question answered, I don't think they will provide you with any different answers.

Ok would the lube she used also damage hiv saying that it doesn’t like air an other elements?

Your questions are endless but they are not necessary since hiv research is 40 years old. After all this research about hiv prevention, it is straightforward and boils down to only 3 ways to get it so for you all you have to do is review the 3 to realize that you are safe, (and stop trying to review the millions of other variations of the same thing.) There are no unanswered questions in the research world about hiv risks after 40 years so you don't have to worry that someone forgot to study lube.

My questions are endless because I’m just trying to educate myself on the situation where I guess i have read some misleading information elsewhere.

Everyone is telling you the same thing. This was zero risk for HIV transmission. The only ways that people get HIV is from having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles.  This is not a risk in any way.  Saliva and air inactivate the virus.  We use the guidance of experts here and this is a moderated forum so inaccurate information can't be given.  You had no risk and it is time to accept that.

Ok even if I got a sore throat about 2 weeks after this encounter with no fever or any other symptoms you think that my encounter was definitely not a risk?

[GuitarRox]

Too many times you have asked at this point.  Nothing you add is going to change the answer.  No risk.

Winner9999 My point about Covid was just in case you are not distancing and were interested in checking out the link. No worries about hiv so you will be best off focusing on real health risks instead of wondering if the proven 40 year old hiv science research has errors.

Ok thank you guys i have one last question I know I did not have oral sex but how come  some people say low risk and some people say no risk ?

This forum is specific to HIV, for which you had no risk because saliva is not infectious and handjobs don't cause HIV infection. However, you've put yourself at very serious and very real risk for the Covid-19 virus, which is highly contagious, extremely easily transmitted and very serious, in case you're not aware or have been living under a rock for the past 2 weeks.

Here is the Covid forum in case you wish to learn more about this risk that is caused by not social distancing or washing.

This encounter was a month ago before all of the social distancing and stay inside happened I’m asking regarding hiv since this is an hiv prevention forum if I put myself at any risk for hiv with this encounter? Thanks.

I read your comment thank you for answering was just wondering if a medical expert could answer as well just wanted to know if they have any reason to believe otherwise
