What Are The Chances Of STD Transmission Through Protected Sex?

Posted on Wed, 14 Jan 2015

Question: Hello Doctor,

I made a mistake, I had protected sex with a csw. few minutes of penetration and then she gave me hand to genital. In all the process I used condoms and they were intact. Also condom was covering most of the penis shaft. Will I still get HPV? I read about HSV, it needs to massaged to tissue etc., The uncovered part was not under that rigorous contact at all. I was worried during all episode and monitored my act carefully. Still worried now, why I did this mistake. It was on spur of time. Will I get infected due to this? I am married 31 yo male. I am worried for my wife.

Thanks,
XXXXXX

Hello Doctor,

Thanks for your reply. It really puts my mind to ease.

I was reading this forum about similar situations and other eminent doctors mentioned why genital HSV is really acquired through proper sexual intercourse and not regular touching etc. As per them the for anyone to acquire the virus, the contacting portion should massage rigorously against infected body. Which does not happen in casual contact. In my case It was a brief penetration and thoroughly protected. So I am pretty much sure about it.

My major concern was HPV, since I read it can be acquired with regular skin-to-skin contact. But as you mentioned it with certainty, I am really at ease now.

Really appreciate your time and help on this!

Hello young fellow,

Welcome again to the forum and thanks a lot or your swift follow up.

You are correct in your reading that for acquiring HPV or HSV, it requires rigorous rubbing of the skin to skin contact. This causes breech in the skin and therefore the viruses can get entered from the infected person to non-infected person.

In your case the intercourse was totally protected and you also had taken care of the non-covered portion. Your penetration was brief and thoroughly protected which makes you totally free from all the infections.

Just forget the incidence and enjoy the year end with great enthusiasm.

Happy new year to you in advance.

I hope this information will relax your mind. I will be glad to answer any further queries or if not then can close the discussion and rate the answer.
