First of all, may I express my respect for your web-site and this forum which seem to be extremely helpful, many thanks for that!
Secondly, taking this opportunity may I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
And thirdly and finally, my miserable situation, which I realise could be looked funny and anectotable and I would be also smiling if it were not happened with me. However, it did and here is my story.
Last night (on Saturday) I visited a Chinese massage parlour where after receiving a massage I was offered a blow job which I accepted under a condition of using a condom.
The lady put the condom on my penis but then suddenly cleaned the condom with a hygiene wipe (!) and started sucking. Maybe she did that automatically (because as I had realised people asked for a condom for an oral sex not quite often) or there was another reason, I do not know but this is the fact.
I did not pay much attention to that yesterday but today I reverted to this episode and started worrying since have found out on the Internet that alcohol and oils which are contained in hygiene wipes destroy latex condoms (there was a Durex one) and it is unsafe for HIV transmission purposes. Moreover, I knew that the head of my penis had had some rash (my foreskin is not circumcised!)
I did not notice that the condom was torn or broken but maybe it became thinner or transparent and that gave a chance for HIV to be transmitted? (I also know that you consider an oral sex as a low risk factor for HIV transmission but not as zero, don't you?)
Dear Doctors, please advise if this is a case for HIV transmission as my worries are getting grown up.
Hello Alex,
Thank you very much for your post and for your very kind wishes.
From the point of view of HIV, your sexual encounter would not involve any risk at all whatosever. Moreover, the fact that you used a condom, that would protect you against any other possible STI transmitted through receiving oral sex, and having used an antiseptic wipe would not increase the chances of damaging the condom. In any case, you would have noticed if the condom had broken.
Even if no condom had been used, receiving a blow job does not pose risk of HIV infection at all. The risk, which is mainly theoretical and close to zero, is only for the person performing th eoral sex with ejaculation in the mouth, and not the other way around. Therefore no need to panic or worry about this. No need to be tested either.
Best wishes for Xmas and New Year to you too,
José
