How Long Does The HIV Virus Stay Alive Outside The Human Body?
Hello,
I decided to masturbate (like any other horny guy out there) yesterday. (Prior to this, I ordered a condom from eBay.) So, masturbating, I decided to put on the condom, but to my surprise, when opening the postage package, I saw that the condom had been opened and placed inside a see-through pouch. Anyway, I decided to see if this was a special kind of condom or whatever, so I took it out from the pouch. However, a sick person actually sent me a used condom which was tied at one end and contained semen.
I disposed of it. Before resuming masturbation (before touching my penis), I washed my hands with disinfectant.
Now, I am so scared! What if the guy who ejaculated into that condom has HIV and I touched the condom and then my own penis. I am so terrified, what if I now have HIV! For the record, I have never had sex with anyone.

Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you are not at all at risk of HIV. You are safe from HIV. Only if your mucosa had touched the penile mucosa than and than there is chance of HIV. But as i understand your skin has contacted with the semen so no issue of the HIV to you. you can lodge the complaint against the company who sent you used condom. Also try to check whether your friend is not teasing you by sending a used condom.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
Dr. Arun Tank. Infectious Disease.
