how long does the hiv viurs live outside of the body in Semen/Sperm??

[PaulGilbert]

My situation is: 2 days ago I had a party till 3am, and I went to stay in cheap guest house (lodge) where often prostitution work is done. I had a feeling like doing masturbation. I started doing masturbation and I ejaculated something after 10-14 minutes. And I wiped my penis from my underwear.
Apparently, I figured that, the bed sheet was dirty and some spots (I don't what kind of spots were those) . When I came back to home, I felt afraid that what if my underwear is contacted with infected semen or sperm and that is connected with my penis while wiping after I ejaculated???
I am so worried doctor.
Please help me with this
1) Am I in the risk??
2) Do I have to test HIV???

1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.


That's it - nothing else you can think of is a risk.  You did not have a risk for HIV and you do not need to test.

why I did not have a risk of HIV?

[PaulGilbert]

Please explain me more.
I am dying from anxiety!! :(

HIV, once exposed to air dies in a few moments. The stains on the bedsheet, even if one assumes was semen from an HIV + man would have no living viruses when you were on the bed. Chill. There is no risk. Stay calm. You need not get tested. HIV doesn't spread this way.

I'm no Dr.
How long hiv can survive outside the body is a debatable topic but under everyday conditions it ranges from minutes to hours.
With that said you did not have a risk and no need to test.

If you are not a doctor then how do you know this,
I am so worried.

Many of us have gone through the hiv window period and learned some hard lessons. Some of those are old, outdated, or just incorrect information that delayed our getting back to normal.
You have 3 ppl here who are in complete agreement and no other member would tell you different.
Malbat explained very well why you are fine. You can trust this information.

[PaulGilbert]

Thank you so much sir!!
I can trust you now.

Hi..You had no risk at all. As CurfewX has pointed out, you have to have had unprotected sex or have shared iv drug needles with other iv drug users. You can't get HIV by masturbating. You also can't get HIV by laying on beds or sheets. HIV doesn't penetrate intact skin. Rest assured, you are safe.

You have been given excellent and accurate advice from 3 extremely  knowledgeable responders. You have been informed how HIV CAN be acquired and that you never had a risk and do not need to test. You've also been informed that masturbation is not a risk for acquiring HIV. Your questions and concerns have been asked and answered. Please move on.

My concern is:
I wiped my penis from my underwear.
Apparently, I figured that, the bed sheet was dirty and some spots (I don't what kind of spots were those) . When I came back to home, I felt afraid that what if my underwear is contacted with infected semen or sperm and that is connected with my penis while wiping after I ejaculated???
