Aa
is this a hiv risk for me to worry about
i have protected sex with a csw worker, the condom never failed and my tip of penis was covered 100 %, my concern was before the encounter I masturbated using shampoo conditioner and i ended up with an abrasion at the very base of penis sort of reddish but no sign of bleeding from rubbing so much or the drying affect from the conditioner(this was probably a couple maybe a few hours old before encounter). As I was finishing up i noticed that some of her vaginal fluids was over that abrasion, for the most part I dont think the abrasion went directly into the vagina but if it did it was definitely not inside long at all as i stated its at the base of penis...but my concern was the vaginal fluid that went over the abrasion outside of her body as the rest of my penis was inside. I was told as long as my urethra (tip of penis) was covered I was fine and there was no risk....is this true? im alittle anxious about the vaginal exposure (HIV) to my abrasion or rub sore if you will call it. Please any info would be greatly appreciated
I TOOK TEST TODAY IT CAME BACK NEGATIVE AFTER 6 WEEKS FROM EVENT!!! THANK YOU GUYS!!! I GOT MY PIECE OF MIND.....ILL TAKE IT AS CONCLSUIVE GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!
im getting tested either today at 2pm or 31st dec.....and im nervous and scared but will let you know results...please pray for me
No reason to keep going around and around here, you had no risk.
My abrasion was not covered by condom or condom ring during protected penetration and was near vagina and its sides when fluids came into contact does that facilitate entry like u said or do those abrasions due to friction that you stated in last post have to be deep inside or inside the vagina to pose a risk as my abasion was outside...im sorry your last post confused me...with my abrasion being where it was at...does that change your assesment
I also wanted to make sure you knew that my penis was penetrating with protection when my uncovered abraison was in contact with vaginal fluid i dont know if post indicated that hopefully i was able to calrify

No, not a stab or puncture wound but by the very nature of penetrative sex there can be microscopic tears caused by friction. Small abrasions that facilitate an entry point into the bloodstream.
But in your case all this does not matter as you had no such risk.

trauma as in like a stab or puncture wound? or a deep cut?.......ofcourse i will give results when i get them, just nervous and these swollen lymph nodes on my neck below right ear doesnt make it better,but im goin in therewith ammo to calm me and seek this out..thanks guys
The "moderators" don't get upset"
From what you posted you never had a risk. HIV does not sneak around and infect in mystical ways. They way HIV infects is deep inside a host's body...i.e Inside a vagina or rectum, shielded from the outside environment, some trauma has to be present as to facilitate the virus to enter the bloodstream.
Your exposure doesn't meet any of the above scenarios and you shouldn't be scared of the results of your test. You never needed a test in the first place.
Having said that.....since you booked a test....come back and tell us about your negative result.

i dont mean to sound like a broken record...i already know that im good to go after using a condom. Lately if been fine im not panicing badly or at all but I am still nervous and kinda worrying, over the abrasion i had on the very bottom top portion of my penis. And still trying to understand that even when vaginal fluids went on my abrasion which wasnt bleeding that was not protected by condom becuz being at base of it, it is deemed as a no risk, which i may say is music to my ears, im just trying to find the reason of why its not a risk, and last thing i want to do is upset you ladies and gentleman that are doing a great service for us.

You did not have an exposure.
