Can HIV Be Contracted Through Protected Sex While Having Angiokeratoma On Scrotum?
Question: Hello doctor Im 40 yrs old I have angiokeratoms in the scrotum and I had protected sex with condom on my penis.I had no bleeding on my scrutom when having sex.Will there be any transmission HIV or any std through scrotum when it's not covered but covered condom on penis and when there is no bleeding in scrotum
Brief Answer:
probably safe...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
STD may require mucosal or blood to blood contact or protracted skin contact (HPV for example). The scrotum is not usually involved in any of the above. Angiokeratoma may bleed and thus be more exposed to pathogens but since you had no bleeding, it can be considered as safe as intact skin. HIV is out of the question when no mucosal or blood contact applies.
There is a theoretical risk for HPV (warts) of course but the penis is a more common location of involvement. The scrotum is an uncommon location actually.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!

Brief Answer:
std unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Having a skin rash doesn't mean STD. Other causes are possible too. You should visit your doctor for assessment and investigation. The STD scenario is rather unlikely. Transmission of STD this way is not easy to occur.

Brief Answer:
a dermatologist should take a look
Detailed Answer:
You'd better visit a dermatologist (or your doctor) for assessment of the rash. The type of lesions, their distribution and various clinical signs may help to determine the diagnosis. It could be an allergic reaction, an infection by various pathogens or other less common disorders. Clinical assessment is required for the diagnosis.

Dioctor This rash in my chesthas been there for almost 3weeks
Brief Answer:
diagnosis required
Detailed Answer:
As I've said before a diagnosis is required. Such a rash could be caused by completely innocent conditions like pityriasis rosea (which is self limited) or various causes which require treatment like infections from various pathogens. Your doctor can assess the extent, duration, kind of lesions and other clinical data in order to form a short differential diagnosis list and finally reach the diagnosis.
Kind regards!
