Another HIV from condom question
      #225508 - 03/03/07 09:38 PM

Although it may be irrational, I am still afraid of the low-risk activity of having protected sex, eventhough everyone here has stated that there is absolutely no risk. My fears still seem to surface after sex where I think through the sexual activity, and whether I may have been accidentaly exposed. Can anyone help me out with this- about my risk, and also about my fears?

My latest sexual activities have involved protected sex with sex workers. (Sex workers in Asia see at least 5 men a day). At one time, after sex, I had used a tissue to wipe the outside of the condom, and afterwards, after removing the condom had used the same tissue to wipe my penis ( I don't remember if I had used a different part of the tissue or not). At another time, after having sex and before removing the condom, I washed it off first with water, dried the condom, and then took it off.

Thanks...

hetero,

There is nothing wrong with a little health fear, however, maybe there is another reason for this "fear" as it seems to surface only after having sex. You need to look with in yourself to find out why you are having this fear.

ps - condom DO work

DL......in one post you claim there no such thing, in the the other post you claim condoms dont protect you from the no such thing...your other condoms article even goes on to say under a special microscope, supposedly hiv, that doesnt exist can pass...so which is it? either it does by your standard or it dont but you contradicting yourself is only magnifying your making an ass of yourself*

where I am from we call your information : BULLSHIT, Usually a byproduct of mad cow disease.

and hetero. condoms do protect you from HIV as well as many other things, please use them properly at all times, because at worst if you don't you too, could parent something like DL1000

DL hasnt never even been to a condom factory to see how they are made or tested, liquid doesnt pass through them, its one of thier tests, HIV cant live with out liquid and other factors, etmperature,etc.

I am an AIDS overcomer, saved by a doctor and the meds, now my fake disease has mutated beyond these "toxic" meds, my wife is negative and stays that way, because of correct and consistant condom use.

fear new

Its the fear of accidentaly catching a life threatening disease through an innocent act--of somehow not having all the bases covered--or somehow exposing myself to a risk by having sex with multiple sex partners or getting exposed from direct contact with the virus (environmental contact from the surface of the condom).

Thanks for your reassurances. From my description of condom usage, am I "using" the condom correctly, or am I making an elaborate condom ritual? How does the virus lose its ability to transmit when it is exposed outside the body?

Should I be worried at all?
