Question:
Hi...!
This is PAUL.I have a girl friend whose HIV status I dont know.For the time being lets assume that she is HIV positive.Now last week.... We had sex.I had asked her about her past and she said that she had never had an intercourse and that she was a virgin.
I like that girl, and so trusted her.Now Plz remember I had used condoms for intercourse.We had only vaginal intercourse and oral sex.No anal intercourse.We first had intercourse and oral sex in bed and then went together in the tub,in the bathroom,together to spend some "Tender" moments there...in the tub.
We were for about two hours together in the tub.I wore a condom before entering the water, and we again had intercourse in the tub(The intercourse happened under water).
After the intercourse I stood up,removed the condom,again got into the tub,and masturbated her to "Climax",till the time she reached orgasm and "Came Out".During this time we both were in the tub water,and I was without condoms.That means the Mucous membrane of the penis was in the water of the tub,without any condom protection.
My questions to you are as follows:-
1> If she is hiv positive,wat are my risks of getting infected in the tub? I mean does hiv survive in water ? There were no obvious/visible cuts on the penis,but you see Micro-Cuts could obviously be there, as we had just had intercourse in bed before getting into the tub.
Is there a chance, that via her vaginal fluids,the virus can survive in water and then enter my penis through Mirco-cuts ?
2> Is it safe to use condoms for intercourse Under water ? I mean do condoms provide the same level of safety underwater, as well ? Or is it that condoms go weak in water and cannot provide safety in water ?
3> (Gynecolgist problem): During or after intercourse there was "NO BLEEDING" at all.But after a couple of days after the intercourse,she started bleeding daily for 4 days continously.But it was not "Actual" bleeding,like how it happens during "Periods".She said it was only 3 to 4 drops of blood that came out.
We both are worried what was that ? It cant be pregnancy because I had worn condoms.Please tell me what can that be ? Is it normal ?
Sir, I know my email is a bit long and that you must be very busy.But its a request that you please take all the sweet time you want, but please answer back...! M very anxious to know about my Chances.
Also its a humble request that please answer pointwise..eg. Ans1> Ans2>.. the way I have asked you, for my better understanding.
Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully,
PAUL

Dear Paul, it sounds as though your risk for HIV infection are low to none from what you have described. HIV is a very fragile virus and cannot survive outside the body for long. It needs a warm, moist environment to survive, and not likely to survive in water. Because HIV is so fragile, DIRECT contact with the fluids is the most efficient mode of transmission. If you are concerned about your partner's HIV status, I would suggest that you both be tested. There are many free clinics that offer testing, depending on the state in which you live. Condoms are safe to use in the water, as water soluble lubricants are what should be used with them in order for them not to break. Oil-based lubricants or conditions can cause condoms to break, so using condoms in the tub should be fine.
As far as your partner's bleeding, it can be normal for women to have "spotting" inbetween periods, and it sounds as though this is what happened. Without a medical examination, or knowing her medical history, there is no way to say this for sure, but "spotting" is a normal occurence for females and there is probably nothing to worry about. If she has pain, or the problem continues, she may want to see a doctor, or someone at Planned Parenthood to check it out.
If you are concerned about HIV, testing is the best way to know for sure, and communicating with your partner about risk is a step in the right direction.Reviewed by: Patricia Fawver Ph.D. in Sexology
