Uncircumcised Penis Condom Protection

[cj3334]

Hi all. First of all, thank you for kindly answering my anxiety driven previous questions without judgement and without banning me. Haha. I appreciate your patience.

If possible I would like to ask a question to avoid freaking out in the future.

I've read before, though honestly I can only find the one study about this, that uncircumcised men are relatively more susceptible to HIV infection due to inner foreskin vulnerability.

I am an uncircumcised male, with a *cough* relatively small penis *cough*. In some of the pictures/diagrams I've seen, it seems said inner foreskin extends pretty far down the penis when it's erect. So I worry that because I'm on the smaller side, there's not much shaft to space the base of penis from inner foreskin when the condom is on.

Am I overreacting or misunderstanding? Is the inner foreskin area actually pretty brief in an erect penis?

Thanks again for your help. You're all truly angels for answering questions every day.

Best regards.

Let's cut to the chase, if you use condoms correctly and consistently, you will never have to be worried about HIV irrespective of being circumcised or not. Size of your penis has nothing to do with HIV risk.

If your relationship is strong a small penis shouldn't make any difference!

Thank you! I appreciate the response. I guess I was wondering if there was a possibility of condom slipping up slightly and getting my foreskin exposed. But it seems, I should not be concerned about that, from your answer. Thanks again!

If the tip of your penis (urethra) is covered, you don't have to worry about it, secretions can't mysteriously creep in to your urethra through side of the penis, it's practically impossible.

Also, even if that happens someway somehow, the fluid will lose it's ability to infect due to being rendered inactive through contact with environment. HIV can only be transmitted inside of the body.
