Itchy And Small Sores On Penis With Use Of Condoms
Every time I use a condom I get watery, itchy, small sores on my penis in numbers of at most 2. I got a treatment but it keeps on reappearing every now and then the moment I use condom. I'm scared I have herpes, but i want to make sure before I go assuming things. Also, I feel like I might be allergic to condoms because every time I use one the thing reappears as early as the following morning. If anyone knows what this could be or has any advice on what to do I would greatly appreciate it.
View 1 RepliesHIV Prevention :: Information Regarding Symptoms
I and other volunteers see a lot of posts regarding symptoms after an exposure. Some are minor such as a rash or a swollen node to "HIV like" such as a cluster of fever, sore throat, sores and body aches. Keep this in mind that as humans we are covered or exposed to germs, common viruses, and fungus which we all carry. This is called the "the biome" which is the invisible part of our environment. When we have sexual contact with somebody or their body fluids we expose each other to these organisms and our body reacts accordingly to fend off these invaders sometimes making us feel ill or display manifestations of symptoms. Stress and anxiety post exposure contribute to this since chronic stress decreases the immune system and makes us more susceptible to common infections. But what about the rashes? One may ask. Stress and anxiety causes the "fight or flight" response in our bodies causing release of cortisol which causes itchy rashes on the skin. Cortisol rashes are also called "hives" can be be similar to rashes found in STDs and can be frightening when they occur, (Ive been there). Allergic reactions also play a part. Also, sometimes the timing of exposure and illness is purely coincedental. Finally, if you have had a high risk exposure- when in doubt, test out.

HIV Prevention :: Oral Sex With Ejaculation
i'm 31 years old bisexual. 4 days ago I had sexual contact with a married man. I did oral sex and he ejaculated on my mouth. Later I found out, I was bleeding inside and some cuts noted. I didn't spit out his semen instead I let it stay in my mouth and swallow. That contact lasted only less than 10 min and a little bit "aggressive", cuz I did deepthroating. Presently i'm having severe throat pain and some cold sores on my lips and throat. In this case, my chance of getting infected with hiv is very high considering that I bleed too much? When is the right time to get tested?
As I converse with that guy, hes telling me he is hiv positive with unknown viral load status, he has multiple partners before and even engage in sexual contact with men. Theres no anal sex happened.
HIV Prevention :: Drink And Cup Sharing?
Last night u had a couple friends over. I recently got my wisdom teeth taken out and this afternoon I used a new cup to rinse but as I rinsed with salt water I noticed some brown spots in the cup. It grossed me out and a family member said maybe someone used by accident. I know my one friend used a plastic cup but I thought he threw it out and I'm pretty sure he did. But I'm not sure if this friend may have hiv and if I used the same cup the next day with wisdom tooth surgery happening 5 days ago could I be at risk for transmission if he does have it? I'm incredibly paranoid and nervous

I bought a fruit pot from a store earlier today, whilst eating the fruit I noticed red stains on some of the fruit which looked like blood. I didn't realise to I eat half the pot so whatever it was I probably swallowed whatever it was. I also currently have a fear of HIV so I'm anxious that if this was blood I could be at risk of HIV. could someone please help and just give me some advice, is this a possible route for transmission?
View 1 RepliesHIV Prevention :: Delayed Seroconversion?
OKAY HERES THE ISSUE:
I have had MULTIPLE duo tests for HIV in the past couple months. My last unprotected sex was November 27, 2015. It was all vaginal sex and i do not know the guys status.
the last test i had was a duo at 15 weeks.
I am tired of letting this anxiety/testing take over my life.
Hopefully someone can address these concerns for me.
1) I have heard about delayed seroconversion. I understand there might be a small chance of this happening beyond 3 months. However, with the DUO test, if there was a delay in seroconversion, would the antigen part of the test pick it up?
I'm assuming delayed seroconversion was more common with 1st/2nd gen tests
2) what is the likelihood that i will test positive at this point? I haven't had sex since, i tested negative at 15 weeks with a DUO and had vaginal, unprotected sex possibly 30 times with someone. i'm assuming its something like: -
0.08 (chance of infection from receptive vaginal) x 30 = 2.4
2.4 x 0.1 (chance of it being positive beyond 3 weeks) = 0.24???
is this correct?
HIV Prevention :: Stripper Fingering
So here it goes.
April 14th, engaged in fingering stripper and kissing. Nothing else, so no oral or sex. I dont remember having any cuts or anything, but it has been a while i guess. 8 weeks later, come down with sore throat and fever for a few days, which went away on its own. No rash or anything. Took one oraquick home test August 16th, which was negative. Have been obsessing over the sickness at 8 weeks. Was that ARS and should i repeat the oraquick? My anxiety went away after the negative test, but i cant get it out of my head. Have also had sinus issues on and off for a month or so.
Any feedback on the risk would be appreciated. Should i retest or can that be my conclusive test? Does oraquick give false negatives? Have not had any sexual contacts since that episode.

Drunk - was propositioned outside bar downtown on way home. Lady offered me oral sex for $. I stupidly agreed. We had condom on - it was her condom, she put it on me.
After 30 seconds or so, I stupidly slid my condom covered penis into her vagina. About 10 seconds later I came to my senses, pulled out with condom. She took condom off me and I left.
Paranoid about:
1. What if condom had tear (I didn't see it at end to verify).
2. B/C lady was a professional, and working by a bar, I assume her risk of HIV is higher (Canada is location).
3. I am married. I worry about having sex with wife until I can be confident I won't give her anything.
For context - have been married for about a dozen yrs, and have never been unfaithful - never kissed, oral, vaginal, anal with any other person. I was very intoxicated resulting in my atypical behavior.This is my first risk experience.
Please let me know your thoughts. Should I get tested for HIV, STI?
HIV Prevention :: Air In The Tip Of Condom Can Break It?
i am 23 years old heterosexual guy. i first time had sex (vaginal) with worker woman about 4 and half months ago. i made huge mistake. in condom tip was air during the intercourse. sex duration was approximately 10 minutes. i did not ejaculate. when we finished, air in the condom was still there. i am suspicious about that could condom tip tear and air go through there, that i couldn't notice? condom was intact as i saw. i didn't see wide open and holes. should i need to get hiv test?
View 4 RepliesHIV Prevention :: Precum On Outside Of Condom
I had recently had sexual intercourse with a man of unknown status. I have become very concerned because he had mentioned that he has been with over 60 women and has never been checked; however, he said he never has sex without a condom so I am starting to have doubts. I have reason to believe he is telling the truth because he didn’t hesitate to grab a condom, but I cannot be sure that he uses condoms properly every time. I am almost certain the condom did not break. As he went to put on the condom he noticed that he was putting it on the wrong way and turned it over and continued to roll on the condom. At this point precum was present on the outside of the condom. About 10 seconds later we proceeded to have intercourse. We had penetrative sex for about 3 minutes until it stopped. There was no full ejaculation and as stated before, I am almost certain the condom did not break. I have recently read that precum can contain amounts of HIV and although it is said that HIV cannot live outside of the body, I read that it takes a few minutes for the virus to die. It was only about 10 seconds before the precum entered my body. I need to know if an act like this was potential risk of HIV. If someone could give me their input that would be great. Also, I will be getting tested I just would like to know if this was a risk or how much of a risk this was because different doctor sites are saying it could be a risk.

View 2 RepliesHIV Prevention :: Oraquick 5 Weeks
I had encounter with a CSW 4.5 weeks ago. I did not have intercourse with her but we did partake in mutual masterbation. I never touched her; however, she did touch herself and then me. She did put a condom on me but I am worried she had vaginal fluids on her hand before she did it. I can't stop worrying about it. 1.5 weeks ago at the 3 week mark I had back pain and back of my knee pain and aching and I was also very tired for about two days. The pain has somewhat gone away but now I have some in my upper chest arm pit area. I don't feel any swollen lymph nodes and no fever. I took an Oraquick at the 3 week and recently 4 week mark. Both were negative. Is this a good indication of my status or am not out of the woods yet? I have read multiple pages saying that Advanced Oraquick is within 2 days of a Rapid Gen 3 Blood test now which usually detects at 3 weeks. However if my symptoms at week 3 were ARS would it have tested positive at week 4?
