Can Dildo Cause Sore Throat,runny Nose And Contract HIV?
Around three and a half weeks ago I found a dildo in my parents drawer and used it. I don t know when it was last used and I stupidly didn t use a condom. As far as I know, they don t have any sti s but recently I have developed a sore throat which has now moved to a runny nose. Do I have hiv ? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. No, it would not.
2. Possibly non-sterile. However, this would not cause sore throat and runny nose. It looks to be more of viral origin. Take steam inhalation along with antihistamines and salt water gargling.
3. HIV chances are nil, as HIV virus does not spread through dried blood. Not to worry, take above treatment.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
