Chance of getting HIV or other STDs

[JakeJ22]

Hi,

Last night I went to a strip club with a friend. Having had a little too much to drink I did not have my wits about me and I allowed a girl to kiss me on the lips, insert her finger in her vagina and into my mouth (which happened only once) and she also touched me and rubbed up against my penis although she was covered by her thong. When she touched me she had already touched her vagina, however I am unsure as to whether she touched the tip of my penis or not - my feeling is that she didn't but my memory is a little unsure.

I did not penetrate, or have oral sex with her, or anything other than what is mentioned. I do have a couple of recently healed cuts in my mouth from chewing on the inside of my lip/cheek, although these were not bleeding at the time and I checked when I got in that they were not had not bled since and it seemed that they had not.

Please could you give me an understanding of the likelihood of having caught HIV or another serious STD, and some idea of how soon I can get checked out.

Thanks very much, your help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to our Forum.  There is no risk for HIV or other STDs from the activities you describe.  The chance that your partner had any STD is low.  Even if she did, HIV and other STDs are not spread by kissing, masturbation or by transfer of genital secretions from one person to another on someone's hands.  That you may have had healing cuts or sores in your mouth does not change this.

There is no medical reason for testing from these activities. I hope my comments are helpful to you. EWH

Nope, no risk.  Take care.  EWH

1.  Hepatitis B is spread through vaginal and rectal intercourse. not through oral sex or by transfer of infectious secretions on another person's hands. there is no risk of hepatitis B.

2.  If you had a sore in your mouth or an oral lesion there would still be no risk.

3.  Again, STDs are not spread from person to person through transfer of genital secretions on a person's hands.  EWH

Dear Dr. Hook,

That's great news, thank you very much for putting my mind at ease. I appreciate your response so late in the day!

Dear Dr. Hook,

I apologise if I am wasting your time at all asking this, I have tried to find out for myself on this site and others and the answers I discover are mixed; what is the likelihood that I might have contracted an STD such as Hepatitis B (which I understand is more readily transmitted than HIV) through this encounter?

For arguments sake if you could consider that I may have had a small lesion or similar in my mouth when the girl put her finger in it after it had been inside her vagina, although I feel that this was probably not the case.

Does the fact that she put her finger straight in my mouth constitute an increased or overlooked risk, against for example her not moving immediately from vagina to mouth, for any of the serious STDs?

Thank you very much for your help!

Dear Dr. Hook,

That's fantastic, thank you very much.

Dear Dr. Hook,

Thank you very much for your reply and for putting my mind at ease. It's so easy to become quite paranoid about these kinds of things. I had read online that there is a chance of contracting an STD (i.e. specifically HIV) through oral sex and I assumed that the fact that she had touched herself inside her vagina and then put her finger in my mouth made it effectively equivalent - transferring vaginal fluids - but is this not the case?

Thanks again for your opinion!
