[Question #10000] Vagina dipping with cloth on and hiv risk

26 months ago

Hello
First of all thank you for your useful forum and I apologize for any grammar errors because eng is not my first language.
I wanted to ask about my recent experience with a girl I did not know at strip club.
I got a lap dance from her. she was topless with her underwear and I was wearing my cotton boxers and also sports pant.my sport pant was not like thick pant and it was thin
I got erected and when she tried to give me a lap dance, she accidentally seat on tip of my penis. At that moment, I think the tip of my erected penis dipped in her vagina for couple seconds. again she as her underwear on.I immediately adjusted my penis because it was uncomfortable and finally we finished the dance. Please advise the hiv risk from dipping in this scenario. Do I need to get tested?

thank you

First, welcome to the forum and thanks for your confidence in our services. I'm happy to help.

Second, congratulations! As the number shows, yours is question 10,000 since this forum was organized. We and the leadership of the sponsor -- the American Sexual Health Association -- are proud to have been of service this long and to have helped (we believe) several thousand different users, as well as those who have benefited from the forum's education goals without necessarily posting their own questions. We thank you all!

You needn't worry at all. No STD is likely pass to through clothing materials, even thin materials (like panties) and even if wet with genital fluids, at least not in quantity sufficient to transmit infection. The weave of the textiles blocks them quite effectively. At least we have never become aware of anyone who acquired any STD without having direct genital contact with penetration or, less commonly, with bare skin. In addition, the large majority of strip club dancers (and female sex workers) do not have HIV. You do not need to be tested for HIV or anything else, and you can safely continue your normal sexual practices if you have a regular partner.

I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Thank you Doctor for your quick and clear answer. just one more question . I appreciate for your help

Because they wear different types of underwear at those clubs, sometimes vagina may get exposed with no covers it during the dance.

in worse case scenario, If I had my underwear and thin sport pant on but her vagina was not covered , is it still no risk for HIV?

Thank you and have a great weekend

Such contact might carry a very low risk of the STDs transmitted by skin-to-skin contact (herpes, HPV, syphilis) but still would be no risk for those transmitted through genital fluids (like HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia). For sure don't worry about HIV -- and I would still advise no STD testing assuming you don't develop genital warts, blisters, sores, etc.---
