CHANCES OF HIV TRANSMISION BY TOUCHING(FINGER WITH HEALING C

Post a new topicby toomuchworried on Sun Oct 19, 2008 7:22 am

My HIV exposure is as below:

6.5 years back i had a protected sex with a CSW in india.i used 2 condoms initially i just kissed the outer lips of her vagina,but that too just for a fraction of a second,with no deep kissing.then i had protected intercourse with her that too only two in and out thrust.after 2 thrust i removed my penis and shagged with my right hand till i cummed.i remember that i had a small healing(non bleeding cut just near my thumb nail).
i m desperated to know whether HIV can pass thru the vaginal secretion(possibly very low) on the condom surface which was inserted in vagina to my cut near the thumbnail?and in this case healing cut was near my thumb nail ie on the top side of my hand and i shagged with my palm ..so i guess probably there was no direct contact with the vaginal fluid on the condom

can this be a possible route of transmission?

how much minimum quantity of Vaginal fluid is required for transmission?


after this exposure very next day i had back pain and after few days i had extreme fatigue,body ache,pain in legs,pain in forearms,wrist ,skin rashes,etc..these symtoms lasted for few days.

body aches and pinching pains returns almost every year...its already 6.5 years passed after that exposure..i have never tested,as i belived i had a safe encounter with no risk..but worried abt the symptoms...plzz help and suggest

Also few important points need to be higlighted are as below:

i would like to clear few points:1)the healing cut was due to nail biting.i have a habit of biting the skin surrounding my finger nails.Important thing is that i shagged(*********d using the palm(underside of my hand,and the healing cut was at the bottom thumbnail.hence it is logical that my palms of my hand was in contact with the condom and not the top of the hand.3) i was not directly exposed to the fluid,since i did not perform fingering,i was just in contact with the condom which was used and which may contain some vaginal secretion(probably in small quantity).Do u agree that based on the detail description in above 3 points..what r the chances of infection.

You really are amazing. You are online asking if you can get contaminated the HIV virus in this particular way. I am not a doctor, so go get tested, it is better to know. Why are you so afraid, it will only take about 15 minutes to get your results. Then if the tests are negative you can then get checked out for the other symptoms that you are experiencing. You are torturing yourself and your mental health with all this worrying. So please go and get tested and put your mind at ease. If you are afraid of needles then you can have the oral swab test done which is not painful. I really suggest that you get tested so that you can have peace of mind.

The case is that I don't know much about other types of transmissions other than by sexual contacts, oral contacts, breast feeding but yours is unusual and there is no way of really knowing if you got infected or not. But I would prefer if you take that bold step and get tested and put your mind at ease because maybe just maybe you may be stressing yourself out over nothing and then if so you will be able to make the necessary changes for the future. Stressing out causes all sorts of health problems.
