I am 20 year old boy. On 13/11/2012, I met a 30 year old man accidentally. I did not know his status about HIV infection. We had open mouth kissing each other. I did not have any mouth ulcers at that time but I did not know whether I had minute bleeding in between my teeth. I did not know whether that man had mouth ulcers or bleeding gums. Then he rubbed his penis on my anal opening and applied some pressure. But I am sure that he did not penetrated and he did not ejaculated at that time. He asked me to do the same and I too did not penetrated and ejaculated.
Then he masturbated me and himself. That's it.
My question is that if that person is HIV positive and if he had mouth sores at that time, what is the chance for me to get infected with HIV??

I did not know at that time that this act will bring me this mouth trouble. On the next day only I came to know that gays are more predominant for HIV infection.
If I had known it before, I would not have allowed him to do so.
Please clarify my doubt as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your quick reply.

Any of the sexual activities you participated in with this man, if he was HIV positive then yes, you would be infected to.

Get tested immediately; if you insist on interacting with this person, use protection.

If both person donot have any cuts in their mouth then how come saliva transmit hiv?
As far as I have got information from Google that tears and saliva even though it is body fluids it does not transmit hiv...
Is it so??

I wouldn't test that out if I were you. Go get tested if you want to be sure you are not infected. You aren't even sure if he had mouth sores, so why all the questions. You both masturbated and SEMEN is a transmitter, even pre- is a transmitter. Can you tell me there wasn't any of that??

Okay, do your own research.

There is now tests out now to see if you have HIV by using a swab and testing your saliva. So ask yourself this, If there is enogh antibody in your saliva to be detected from your mouth being swabbed for the test then there is enough for it to be transmitted from one person to another.
Also when I was working we were told that ALL body fluids can transmit the HIV. You also said that he pushed against your anus opening but did not penetrate you. If he pressed against the opening of your anus he very well could have transmitted it to you because even though he did not ejaculate he still was leaking pre-ejaculte fluid that carries the HIV . All he had to do was smear it at the opeing of your anus and it could find its way in. In medical school we were taught that its called "port of entry" anytime you have an opening were bacteria or a virus can enter,even if it's a break in the skin or a natural body opening. It is very important for you to get tested and also DO NOT have ANY KIND of unprotected sex or contact with this individial or anyone else for that matter. Treat everyone as though they are infected. Universal precautions. Let us know how you do.

Thanks, Krafteame for re-affirming my information to this young man. I hope it helps educate him to take him through the path he has chosen.

'Universal Precautions' for me, in my trips working and travelling through my community when any outbreak is reported, any client with HIV, anything transferrable is mask, goggles, apron, gloves to guard against 'splashes' (you well know what I mean); so I can picture this equipment being worn for anyone entering into a sexual encounter and that made my day. I know you didn't intend that, but that was my mental image. :)

There are a lot of variables at play here. First off I agree with what has been said so far. If the person has HIV than you can get it through interaction with him. You need to get yourself tested and, until you know ultimately, refrain from ANY And ALL sexual activity.

That being said a few factors that come into play here as well is the level of his active infection. If it's high than higher chance, but if it's low than it is lower. As well Saliva does hold an amount of the virus but not much compared to say blood. So if you were deep french kissing and he has lesions than there is a high probability. If it was less than less probable.

The anal play, regardless of what happened, would be a much higher risk. The importance of safe sex can't be overstated here especially with new partners. You can never be sure and it is your life you're gambling with.

I think the probably is low that you were infected but you need to figure out for sure. My best advice is to abstain until you know your status for sure. Use condoms and get more of a history and background before you start playing. Sure it might kill the mood but it won't kill you.
