Topic: AIDS



Expert: Kristen Brannock, MPH
Date: 5/12/2008
Subject: HIV Transmisson Question

Question
Being concerned about HIV and other STDs I choose to practice safe sex. Yesterday I mutually masturbated with a female. We didn't touch each other, but just watched each other masturbate.

After I came, she got me a towel from the bathroom so I could clean myself. Is it possible to transmit HIV if she touched her vagina, then touched a towel which I used to clean myself off?

Answer
If she wiped herself and then passed it directly to you, then it is conceivable that the towel could transfer her fluids to your body. For HIV transmission to occur, her fluids would have to enter your body (presumably through your penis). I cannot say it is impossible but it is pretty unlikely that you would get HIV in this way.
