What Are Chances Of HIV Through Sharing Of Tissues For Cleaning Genitals?
Question: hi doc. i recently visited an escort. she did not touch my penis, or her vagina as far as i am aware. i masturbated. after ejaculating she passed me a baby wipe , which i foolishly used to clean my penis. if she had any fluids on her hand, could they be transferred to me via the wipe?? i am rather parranoid as i dont usually use escort services. urgent response would be much appreciated. thanks and regards
Brief Answer:
HIV and STD get transmitted through mucosa
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query to HC M.
HIV and most STD are transmitted through body fluids when they come in contact with mucosa surfaces.
A wipe given by an escort to clean the genitals carry an almost no risk as there was no body fluids that came in contact from the escorts genitals or oral mucosa.
Hands can't transfer HIV and other STD
infections to you through a fomite ( wipe).
If still you want to get yourself investigated you can get yourself investigated for Pcr for HIV.
