Question about HIV virus
Hi, After yesterday, I read the post " Am I at Risk for HIV? " carefully.
Here's my question:
1. You may be exposed to HIV if you:
1) Have unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex.
I would like to know, If vaginal fluid gets inside the condom, I think inside condom, the glans and vaginal fluid are simulated Unprotected penetrative.
I find this in You cannot get HIV from:
5) A penis rubbing an anus or vagina without penetration, with or without semen or vaginal fluids even with a wound. HIV simply doesn’t transmit that way. No penetration = no risk.
But I don't think that explains what I said above. It's not the same situation.
The only explanation is that bodily fluids leave the vagina and immediately lose their infectivity. So the glans can't transmit HIV if it comes into contact with the vaginal fluid virus anywhere else except in the vaginal (outside the body). I'm I right?
Forgive me for the question. And thank you for your reply! I think explain this will also help others!

1) This isnt an overly common issue but no, this will not cause a HIV infection and the host needs to be in a perfect environment to survive. The condom is not and the virus will die instantly.
2) Same as above. the virus would not live OUTSIDE the body as it is not a good host for the virus to survive.
"The only explanation is that bodily fluids leave the vagina and immediately lose their infectivity. So the glans can't transmit HIV if it comes into contact with the vaginal fluid virus anywhere else except in the vaginal (outside the body). I'm I right?"
Kind of. The virus wont live ANYWHERE outside the body. Blood (such as IV drug use) or sex involving actual penetration (anal/vaginal, not oral) can transmit HIV.

Hi, I’m in this uncommon situation. If possible can you please take a look at my last post(yesterday) This is why I tried to find all the post that have same situation with me!
I’m still inside 72 hours. I just want to know I will be 100% safe from HIV or only maybe safe from it. If it’s not 100% safe I think I should take the medicine (blocking )

We are sorry that you are having such anxious thoughts but in your previous thread, it was explained that you had NO risk for HIV. We wish you the best.

"I'm a PhD student and I believe in science! " That IS'NT the case since you keep coming back here asking irrational unscientific questions and never accept the answer. Not sure why you keep asking since you don't believe any answers.
"I would like to know, If vaginal fluid gets inside the condom" That's unscientific - The fluid can't bore into the condom like a worm.
"you should ask about seeing a therapist for your irrational fixation on HIV." https://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/sore-throat-afraid-condom-break/show/3067591

Why I keep asking is because actually you didn’t ready my question carefully. No offense!
In my last question I said I ask for a condom and she give me. But I didn’t see she open it but it’s open already! That’s why I’m afraid she is already a HIV people and did some thing bad!
Like when I’m taking a shower she open it and use the inside of condom touch her vaginal fluid! So I’m saying this situation, not ask if fluid can cross the condom.

Your anxiety makes you ask the same questions over and over that have been answered. You can't get hiv when you use a condom - it's simple - but you won't accept that (which is what makes you keep asking questions) so seek THERAPY so you can try to live a normal life instead of wasting it in fear.
hiv is dead in air so at the worst she rubbed dead virus on the condom - you should not be afraid of a dead virus, so see a therapist.

This is the answer I need! Really appreciate that!
So it means I’m saying in a right way ‘ The only explanation is that bodily fluids leave the vagina and immediately lose their infectivity. So the glans can't transmit HIV if it comes into contact with the vaginal fluid virus anywhere else except in the vaginal (outside the body).’ Yes this is what I need! And thank you for your time.
I just worry you didn’t understand my question and give me a regular answer. Thank you so much!!!
Yes I’m too anxiety. My urethra stings from time to time today, which makes me feel that I may be over.
Thank you again!
