Am I at One Anal Exposure HIV Risk?

Patient's Query

One anal exposure hiv risk for men?

Answered by Dr. Madhu Sudan

Engaging in anal intercourse can carry a possibility of transmitting HIV if one partner is positive. Common symptoms of infection include fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes, but many remain asymptomatic. The virus primarily spreads through bodily fluids, especially if there are cuts or sores. To protect yourself, consider using condoms and engaging in regular testing if at risk. Vaccinations and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) are effective preventive measures. It’s crucial to have open discussions with sexologist about your concerns and potential testing.

My girlfriend and i were both fully clothed(sweatpants and underwear) she was on top of me and we both ejaculated, on my pants there was a big stain of sperm, and she was also wet, now we are concerned if there is a posibility to make a baby like that

The chances of pregnancy in the situation you described are actually quite low. For pregnancy to happen, sperm needs to enter the vagina and travel to meet an egg. In your case, with clothes on and no direct genital contact, the likelihood of sperm reaching the egg is very minimal. However, if you both want extra peace of mind, you could consider emergency contraception like the morning-after pill just to be on the safe side. It's always good to take precautions.

I did dry humping on 22 october (I was naked but he had underwear on) then got periods on 28 October. Am I pregnant? Can pregnancy happen while I got periods or everything of that cycle finishes when I got periods 6 days after dry hump

Female | 20

When you had your period on the 28th of October, it's a good sign that everything is working as it should. Pregnancy usually occurs when an egg is fertilized by sperm, and this typically happens around ovulation, which is roughly in the middle of a menstrual cycle. Since you got your period shortly after the dry humping incident, it's less likely that you are pregnant. However, if you're still worried, you can take a pregnancy test for peace of mind.

Do I have STI? I feel sore down there. I always feel it every month and during sex it's very painful during penetration.

Female | 30

It can be that you have a sexually transmitted infection (STI). The typical signs are the pain, soreness, and discomfort down there. Sometimes, these infections lead to pain during sex. Monthly soreness could be a sign of a recurring issue. Sexual contact is the main way that STIs are spread. The healthcare provider should be consulted for testing and treatment. This is necessary for the health of both you and your partner.

I 25years age. I think I may have an infection or an STDs. My partner complains of symptoms of gonorrhea days after intercourse. But myself I don't have any symptoms at all. No urinal pain or discharge. Nothing at all. And this have been going on for some time now. Recently, I decided to get a medicine for gonorrhea. I completed the medication and after an intercourse, same problem comes back. What should I do

Male | 25

Your partner has gonorrhea, which is causing their symptoms. Remember, you could still have the infection and pass it back to your partner even if you do not have any symptoms. Both of you must get tested for gonorrhea and receive treatment. In some cases, infections may not manifest symptoms immediately but they could still be present. Ensure that both of you take the full dose of the medication, abstain from sex until you complete treatment, and utilize protection henceforth.

Can I use to make my prick get bigger

Male | 14

However, there is a crucial thing that guys need to know. No matter how many expensive creams, pills, or gadgets you see being advertised on the internet, they will not make a man's penis any bigger than it is naturally. The penis comes in various sizes and it is okay. Also, keep in mind that size is not relevant in terms of pleasure. It is more important to be proud of your body the way it is.

I had unprotected sex with 4 people 2 years back. All looked healthy and low risk. Should I worry about hiv?

Female | 26

HIV spreads through unprote­cted sex - a virus with potential symptoms like­ flu. Fever, fatigue, the­se may occur. Testing provides the­ truth, so that's wise.
