[Question #11737] RISK ASSESSMENT
12 months ago
|
I am sorry for my question being repetitive in nature. Your answers would help my OCD therapy. I had an exposure with an escort in India in a hotel. She rubbed her vagina wearing thin lingerie on my naked penis with aggressive frottage. If there was fluid that seeped in through her thin fabric do I need to get tested for HIV or any STD? I also kissed her on lips and breasts and belly. She also gave me a handjob, though I dont remember she having any secretions or sti bumps on her hands. But if she had them am I at risk. DO I need to get tested for HIV or any STD?

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your confidence in our services.
HIV and other STI bacteria and viruses are not transmitted through fabric; even "thin lingerie" probably would prevent it. And even if she were unclothed, rubbing her vagina on your penis would be little or no risk. Syphilis, HPV or herpes might be transmitted, but without penile penetration into her vagina, you were at little risk for any and all STIs. Hand-genital contact is risk free as well.
I would not advise testing after such an exposure. Of course you are free to be tested anyway if the negative results would increase your confidence and help you stop worrying. If so, have a urine test for gonorrhea and chlamydia (valid any time more than 4-5 days after exposure) and blood tests for HIV and syphilis after 6 weeks.
I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Thanks a ton doctor! Your other answers on were godsent for me. I went through more than four months of OCD and panic. I got tested five times for HIV Duo 4th gen at 45 days, 91 days and 99 days post exposure. All were negative. It was after these OCD anxiety panic attacks that gave me the classic tingling feelings in my genitals and digestion issues. I discovered your answers shortly after and calmed down. I am taking therapy for my anxiety. But I was worried about other STDs and whether I should get tested. I thought a clear answer from you is something I can use with my therapist to work with. This is my first sexual encounter ever in life. I was super worried. Thanks for your sane advise. I will not get tested for other STDs unless its strictly needed. As you advise, I dont need to get tested for anything else. I will move on in life. And strictly ensure I am in a monogamous relationshipi. Thanks a ton again Doc! I sincerely wish Google promoted your answers over misinformation that increases panic in these cases. Thank thank you so much again! You dont know how many lives you save by these answers. Even though they are repetitive questions.

Just a last question before I close this thread doctor! Sorry for the repetitive nature again. Can I safely and in peace continue unprotected sex with my partner? Or do I need to be worried that I may pass something on to my partner because of this exposure? Thanks a ton for your patience. Your assurance would be enough to close my line of doubt. As you assure this in your many threads to many people asking.

If I were in your situation, I would continue unprotected sex with my wife, with no worry of infecting her. But as discussed above, this is a personal decision you'll have to make on your own. Re-read the paragraph starting with "I would not advise...."

That concludes this thread. Best wishes and stay safe.
