Is HIV Transmitted By Skin To Skin Contact?

Posted on Sat, 11 Apr 2015

Question: Hi for the last three years I sessioned with 7 dominatrises, most of the encounter was kissing their bodies but not their private parts but I sucked for one time on a nipple, and at one time one girl's saliva came up on my penis and I got really worried that time, they sometimes put their feet on my penis and also i lick their bodies but again not their private parts, they give me blowjob and also at the end I shower in their tub and dry myself with the towels that I am guessing other men also dried themselves with, I am really worried about if a towel transmits hiv or any other sexually transmitted diseasse and for that matter all the above mentioned practices please let me know
Thanks

Hi XXXXX
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic.
I have gone through the details.

HIV is not transmitted by skin to skin contact or massage or kiss or blow job or by fomites( towels).So allay fears of HIV.
Some STDs like herpes simplex virus. can be transmitted by skin to skin contact .The chances are higher if active lesions are present during contact.
You can go for STDs test as a routine including for herpes antibodies to relieve your anxiety.
You can get back for any clarification.

I am worried about what you said on herpes. I usually ask them but they tell me they don't have it. Is there any signs that come up in my body?

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to have herpes if they do not have it.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
If they do not have any history of herpes,you can almost allay fears of herpes.
If there are doubt's, you can go for hsv1&2 antibodies test for herpes.

The symptoms usually are in the form of grouped vesicles ( water filled lesions) with pain / itching.They occur usually within days to 2 weeks of exposure. They can be asymptomatic. They are known for recurrence.
