In that case, you may have to travel a little, or choose an online support group instead. Depending on where you live, there may be lots of in-person support groups, unless you're unfortunate enough to live in my town. I think you might feel better if you came to terms with who you are sexually.

Being able to be out, to whatever degree is possible in your situation, involves first being out to yourself. Second, you don't need to work on not being with random people. First of all, sex being what it is, you're probably NOT going to be able to be abstinent, and you won't be prepared. For most people, partner sex is an important part of life don't swear to give it up because you're afraid of whatever.

No one EVER got HIV from a handjob, cuts or no. To the original poster: You're definitely fine. Funny how all your common sense just disappears when you're horny -) I think all he's saying is, allow for the possibility that you might have partner sex, keep condoms with you, and ASK your partners their STD status first. If you're not accepting of your sexuality and thus not prepared for a sexual situation, you're probably going to end up in an extremely risky encounter with an extremely risky partner. One of the many problems with swearing abstinence is that sex is a pretty powerful urge. He's not passing judgment he's just noting that you have to be prepared to be sexual. Even when bleeding it is not a good entrance for HIV." Thank you so much for your reply. Do you think these two things add any risk? And also, do you agree on Will's comment? "any wound is closed from HIV as long as it is not bleeding (no fluid going out, none coming in). And afterwards, (2) I didnt wash my hands directly, I only wiped it slightly on the sofa or something. After reading your comment "the infected secretions were vigorously massaged into the inflamed skin", I remember when he "came" on my hands, (1) he asked me to squeeze/grip his penis tighter and I did and I also kept stroking for a while. I just need to work on "not meeting random people". And, I think it's working out fine with me. Thank God !!! So now, I never want to have oral/anal sex anymore. I already got tested for that encounter like 6 months after and it turned out to be negative. I only had sex once in my life (with another stranger). I think that's the reason why I meet strangers for discreet one time encounter. Hi Doc, Yeah I know it wasn't the best idea to hook up with a person without knowing about his status. Is the person at risk? Thank you so much for your help Is the person at risk? 3) If someone has precum/semen on his hands, and he touched someonelse's rectal area. 2) Let's say in general, if someone has cuts on his hands, and semen got in contact with the cuts. So, I'm really afraid that at the time when he ejaculated, the cracks are connected to my blood stream or something like that. PS: I've been constantly checking on the openings/cracks/cuts on my knuckles. 1) Am I at risk? Do I need testing? We didnt have any oral/anal sex. And that his semen got into contact with my cuts on my knuckles/fingers and thus infected me. So, I'm really really concern that he might have HIV or STDs. I believe he had many wild random sex before. But, he said he had sex with women, men, shemales. I'm concern because I dont know his status. So I assumed it's like cuts on my knuckles/fingers. But, I can still feel the inflamation feeling when I washed my hands or when I put some pressures on it. Since, I washed my hands frequently, there are some openings/cracks (on my knuckle area). I only felt the warm fluid running down all over my hands.) My concern is that I have a very very dry skin.

(He covered his penis with a towel when he ejaculated, so I couldnt see how much semen he ejaculated. So, he spilled his semen all over my hands. In the end, while I was stroking his penis, he ejaculated. He also touched my testicles area slightly. In the middle, I was so stupid and I started giving him a handjob. Then, I touched his pubes, nipples, body, etc. Basically, we started masturbating on our own.
