Hi Doc, Am A Homosexual. I Have Question, 3 Months
Question: Hi doc, am a homosexual. I have question, 3 months ago I gave a handjob (masturbation) to two different men, whose HIV / STD statuses are unknown to me. During the action, I was full on cloths and my mouth and genetals didn't come in contact with any of their body parts. Also, I have used external lubricant while giving them handjob. In addition, during handjob I think their precum and sperm have come in contact with my hand, since my hand was covered with sticky lubricant so I am not sure about their bodily fluids. Now I am worried about HIV and other STDs after merely 3.5 months am feeling little throat pain (I don't know the reason, due to that event, I don't know whether I am connecting my regular health issues with it ). Please help me. Thank you
Brief Answer:
no risk of HIV
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
There is no risk of HIV from this particular incident as skin is not a route of transmission of HIV. HIV is only transmitted through direct unprotected sexual contact with an infected partner- either vaginal, anal or oral sex.
hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance

Thank you doc for the reply
Is there any risk associated with sperm and precum coming in contact with the skin having micro cuts etc. Since these are invisible to the naked eye?

No. Minor cuts and breaks of skin are self sealing and do not pose a risk of HIV even if they come in contact with potentially infectious fluids.

Although I am convinced with your reply, is these minor cuts are healable within a short periodd?, because I dont know the history of these before the handjob.
Thank you in advance
