[Question #6296] Stripper incident

69 months ago

I was at a strip club recently and was rubbing a strippers vagina with my finger, no insertion. Shen then rubbed her vagina with her finger and stuck her finger in my mouth. About 3-4 days after I experienced so discomfort in my buttocks and hamstrings mostly and 9 days post have developed a scratchy sore throat, no fever.

Should I be concerned with HIV?

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your confidence in our services.

This was a zero risk event for HIV and all STDs. Even direct oral sex with women has never been known to transmit HIV, and this exposure would have involved a lot less exposure to vaginal fluids than oral sex would have done. In addition, the vast majority of strippers don't have HIV.

Your symptoms are not suggestive of a new HIV infection or other STD. They probably have nothing to do with your strip club visit. I do not recommend any testing, and if you have a regular partner, there is no reason not to continue your normal sexual practcies.

I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Thanks doctor. So no concern about the body aches I described?

No concern at all in regard to HIV or other STDs. Of course if they continue or you remain concerned, see a doctor. But as I said above, I am confident they are unrelated to the strip club events. (Unless they are due to anxiety about that event.... but for sure not to any infection.)---
