[Question #9719] Risks

 I am a male who engaged in bdsm with csw woman today. She did:
b- spit on my face
c-Hit me with a velvet whip many times which left one red bruise on my butt (did not see blood but seem to scrape my skin)
d- she penetrated my anus with a strap-on sex toy she washed with soap in front of me, put a condom on it, put lube on it before penetration
e- I sucked her nipples which she had piercings
My questions:
 1- Any of those interactions had any risk of giving me any diseases?
2- Should I get tested for anything?
3- Any chance the velvet whip could carry viruses? It did leave a bruise, not sure if it broke the skin, but saw no blood. The bruise could mean it got to my bloodstream?  Half an hour of the whip not being used on someone else would be enough for any virus to die from drying up and exposure to the air?
4- Could the lube's tube tip carry virus since she uses it with other clients?
5- Sucking nipples with piercings have any risk?
6- If I get tested for anything, how much time should I wait? Is it true that for HIV 4th gen you just need to wait 15 days?
7- Any risk of STI from spit getting in my mouth?
8- Penetration of the dildo put me at any risk?

Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for your confidence in our service.  I'll be glad to comment.  The activities you describe did not put you at appreciable risk for any STIs.  I'll elaborate on this generalization in my comments below:

 1- Any of those interactions had any risk of giving me any diseases?
No

2- Should I get tested for anything?
No

3- Any chance the velvet whip could carry viruses? It did leave a bruise, not sure if it broke the skin, but saw no blood. The bruise could mean it got to my bloodstream?  Half an hour of the whip not being used on someone else would be enough for any virus to die from drying up and exposure to the air?
STI pathogens, including viruses become non-infectious almost immediately upon being exposed to the environment outside of the body and are not transferred from person to person an inanimate objects including not only the whip you describe but toilet seats, contaminated sinks, etc.

4- Could the lube's tube tip carry virus since she uses it with other clients?
No, see my comments above.

5- Sucking nipples with piercings have any risk?
No

6- If I get tested for anything, how much time should I wait? Is it true that for HIV 4th gen you just need to wait 15 days?
I see no need for testing of any sort however, if you choose to test, results will noot technically be conclusive until 6 weeks following exposure.

7- Any risk of STI from spit getting in my mouth?
No

8- Penetration of the dildo put me at any risk?
No, not as long as it was cleaned as you describe.

I hope that this information is helpful.  EWH
