QUICK REFERENCE...PLEASE READ

hiv cannot be transmitted through...

ORAL SEX
there has never been a verfied case of transmission of oral sex only.  all the latest studies done...one over a 10 year period...prove that hiv is not transmitted through oral sex

FINGERING WITH TORN CUTICLE
hiv is not transmitted in this manner.  a torn cuticle or even an insignificant cut is NOT "enough" to allow for transmission to occur.  no one has ever contracted hiv from fingering...with or without cuts, scrapes, or tears to their hands or cuticles.

SUCKING OR LICKING NIPPLES
adults CANNOT contract hiv from sucking a nipple...even one from a lactating mother.  hiv can be transmitted from mother to child in this manner due to the large volume of milk consumed AND the fact that an infant's immune system is not yet developed.

RUBBING...WHETHER VAGINAL AND/OR ANAL
transmission requires penetration and takes place INSIDE the body.

REMOVING CONDOM
when removing a condom and you touch the outside where vaginal secretions might be present...hiv will NOT be transmitted if you, in turn, touch the head of your penis.

SLIPPED OR ROLLED UP CONDOM
if your condom does not cover the entire shaft of your penis...you are not at risk.  as long as the head of your penis is covered...you were not at risk.

CONDOM PROTECTED SEX
if you wore a condom...you were PROTECTED or guarded against infection.  EVEN IF you see blood on the condom...you were STILL protected.

CONDOM FAILURE
condom failure is NOT something that you have to guess about.  condoms dont get microscopic holes in them during sex and allow the virus to enter.  FAILURE IS CATASTROPHIC and exposes the head of your penis.


IF YOU HAD UNPROTECTED VAGINAL/ANAL INTERCOURSE OR SHARED IV DRUG WORKS WITH SOMEONE OF UNKNOWN STATUS...YOU PUT YOURSELF AT RISK OF CONTRACTING HIV.

--please don't "bump" this valid question/concern!! Please.

How is "Vaginal Rubbing," aka Frottage, not a risk!?  It is SKIN-TO-SKIN vigorous grinding - in which typically a girl gets very wet, thus getting her Vaginal Secretions  all over the man's pen*s.  Isn't this is a risk?! How could it not be!?  I just do not get the logic behind how it can't be.
Also, would it be a risk to engage in a similar act, yet w/boxers on, and grinding. For example, inserting while covered by one's boxers?  Shouldn't that be a risk, though not as high as skin-to-skin grinding?
