There is a process called sperm washing that many believe eliminates the HIV from the sperm. But there is no 100% sure way of cleaning the sperm so that nether the child or the birth mother have a chance of getting the virus. Many people consider the risk worth it though. You should talk to a doctor about it though.

Your husband should be fine.  HIV is a fragile virus and can't live outside of the body.  It dies almost instantly.  So any of the virus on the bloody clothes would be dead.  If your husband had an open wound and pressed it up against your sons open would, there maybe risk.  But he was perfectly safe handling the bloody clothes.  Still, its never a safe idea to touch blood without gloves on, regarless of if it is infected with HIV.\n\nAs far as kissing goes, you can't get HIV through kissing.  The only way there would even be a SMALL risk is if it was deep kissing and there was a lesion or cut in his gum so it was blood mixed with saliva.  Even then the risk is very small.  \n\nDon't worry, unless your husband is having unprotected sex with your son, or sharing needles with him, none of you are at rist.  \n\nI've included a link to some good information about HIV and its transmition.  Taken from that link is this information.  Visit the link to find out more.\n\nCan HIV spread through kissing? \nAnswer: Kissing such as on the cheek or lightly on the lips carries no risk of transmitting HIV. In deep kissing there is a small risk because the saliva of an infected person contains few virus particles which by itself is not sufficient to cause the infection. But there could be bleeding gums or ulcers in the mouth and exchange of infected saliva mixed with blood during kissing could transmit the HIV \n\n\nHow is HIV not transmitted?  \nAnswer: HIV cannot spread by casual contact such as touching, holding hands, body contact in crowded public places, shaking hands, working or playing together, sharing food, vessels and clothes, eating food cooked by an infected person, light kissing, mosquito and other insect bites, swimming pools, and toilets.  \n\nQuestion: How long can the virus live outside the human body? \nAnswer: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus is fragile. Once the virus is outside the body in a dry form, it dies immediately. Even in a wet state, it does not live long when exposed to heat, detergents, or disinfectants. When stored in blood banks at 4°C, it can live for about 3 weeks (or longer), or till the white cell disintegrates, but in a frozen state it can survive for years.

Although their is a strong likelihood that with treatment their baby can come through the process without developing AIDS, I am certain that the decision is very personal. The mother will not be around to raise said child. Adoption is often out because many people do not want to adopt a baby that may be HIV positive. The fact is that the tests are not conclusive until the child is 2 years of age due to antibodies from the mother.

It is highly unlikely your boyfreind is infected. If he had no open sores and no blood got into his system then he cannot have HIV. Please stop worrying about it. You're doing yourself far more harm worrying like this. Kiss your young man for me and good luck.

HIV is transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal secretions...so that means no oral...sorry. Don't think that precautions like "Dental Dams" are worth the risk, they aren't.

Yes, unprotected sex of any kind (apart from oral) leaves you open to catching the HIV virus, and thus eventually AIDS. Of course, if your partner does not have HIV then you'll be fine....

yes. In fact, unprotected (without a condom) anal sex (intercourse) is considered to be very risky behavior. It is possible for either sex partner to become infected with HIV during anal sex. HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. In general, the person receiving the semen is at greater risk of getting HIV because the lining of the rectum is thin and may allow the virus to enter the body during anal sex. However, a person who inserts his penis into an infected partner also is at risk because HIV can enter through the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis) or through small cuts, abrasions, or open sores on the penis.

It is possible, but not probable.\n\nSTD's can be passed from mother to child, such as HIV and others, so just because a person is a virgin does not mean they don't have one.\n\nOral sex can also infect you with certain STD's  please check out this link from the center of disease control about it....always use a condom please\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/std/hiv/STDFact-STD&HIV.htm

because gays have anal sex and to be blunt, that area tears easily, giving infected fluids an entrance into your body .\n\n  How is HIV Transmitted?    \n\nHIV can be transmitted from an infected person to another through:\n\nBlood (including menstrual blood) \nSemen \nVaginal secretions \nBreast milk \nBlood contains the highest concentration of the virus, followed by semen, followed by vaginal fluids, followed by breast milk.\n\n* Activities That Allow HIV Transmission\n\nUnprotected sexual contact \nDirect blood contact, including injection drug needles, blood transfusions, accidents in health care settings or certain blood products \nMother to baby (before or during birth, or through breast milk) \nSexual intercourse (vaginal and anal): In the genitals and the rectum, HIV may infect the mucous membranes directly or enter through cuts and sores caused during intercourse (many of which would be unnoticed). Vaginal and anal intercourse is a high-risk practice.\n\nOral sex (mouth-penis, mouth-vagina): The mouth is an inhospitable environment for HIV (in semen, vaginal fluid or blood), meaning the risk of HIV transmission through the throat, gums, and oral membranes is lower than through vaginal or anal membranes. There are however, documented cases where HIV was transmitted orally, so we can't say that getting HIV-infected semen, vaginal fluid or blood in the mouth is without risk. However, oral sex is considered a low risk practice.\n\nSharing injection needles: An injection needle can pass blood directly from one person's bloodstream to another. It is a very efficient way to transmit a blood-borne virus. Sharing needles is considered a high-risk practice.\n\nMother to Child: It is possible for an HIV-infected mother to pass the virus directly before or during birth, or through breast milk. Breast milk contains HIV, and while small amounts of breast milk do not pose significant threat of infection to adults, it is a viable means of transmission to infants.\n\nThe following "bodily fluids" are NOT infectious:\n\nSaliva \nTears \nSweat \nFeces \nUrine

HIV can be transsmited only by blood or seminal fluids. Hope u understand this. If u eat semen or vagunal fluid u can get it

It is pretty unlikely but possible (at least in theory). All other things being equal, my guess is that she would be at greater risk than you.  \n\nIs there some reason to think she is HIV positive?  If so, then I might get tested.  Otherwise...\n\nHIV is less prevalent in women than in men (in the USA).  Unless she is at higher risk (had intimate contact with HIV positive partners, blood transfusions pre-blood screening, iv drug user, etc.), the odds of her having HIV to begin with are small.\n\nThe virus lives a very short time outside of the body and requires a way inside the body -- mucus membrane, cut, etc.  So the HIV virus could -- in theory -- enter through a cut in your hand.\n\nStill, a conversation with your doctor wouldn't be a bad idea!

Can I get HIV from oral sex? \nYes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. \n\nIf the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through \n\nthe lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis); \nthe lining of the vagina or cervix; \nthe lining of the anus; or \ndirectly into the body through small cuts or open sores. \nIf the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body. \n\nThe risk of HIV transmission increases \n\nif the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat; \nif the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or \nif the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD). \nNot having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV. \n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex, and your partner is male, \n\nuse a latex condom on the penis; or \nif you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used. \nStudies have shown that latex condoms are very effective, though not perfect, in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly and consistently. If either partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms for either the male or female can be used. For more information about latex condoms, see "Male Latex Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases." \n\nIf you choose to have oral sex, and your partner is female, \n\nuse a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the vagina. A latex barrier such as a dental dam reduces the risk of blood or vaginal fluids entering your mouth. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \nIf you choose to perform oral sex with either a male or female partner and this sex includes oral contact with your partners anus (analingus or rimming), \n\nuse a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \nIf you choose to share sex toys with your partner, such as dildos or vibrators, \n\neach partner should use a new condom on the sex toy; and \nbe sure to clean sex toys between each use. \nIf you would like more information or have personal concerns, call CDC-INFO 24 Hours/Day at 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636), 1-888-232-6348 (TTY), in English, en Espaٌol. \n\nBut on the other hand reports say it is very minimal:\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn1156

I would assume that you can get HIV by drinking breast milk, it is a bodily fluid but if you have any concerns ask your doctor.

well yes there's still chance for that, aside from sexual intercourse, HIV can be acquired through blood transfusion, or if you have an open wound and your partner has one and those two wounds touch each other, just be sure both of you dont have an open wound on your lips before kissing, the virus's incubation period takes a long time and is virtually undetectable unless if you go for a check up.

No, unless he actually has HIV, you're at no greater risk. I don't think venezuela has a high population of people infected with HIV. If you're not sure about him, either don't sleep with him again or ask him to have tests done. If he's cool he'll do it.\n\nAlso, make usre you use protection next time. You could be pregnant now! Please have more respect for yourself and use protection.

Any unprotected sex, with our without ejaculation is a risk for an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) including HIV.\n\nEven without ejaculation, there are pre-ejaculatory fluids that are released and these can carry HIV. \n\nIn short, nearly any bodily fluid has the potential to tranmist HIV. Whether that is sexual or blood borne in origin.\n\nIf you have concerns, there are many available methods to get tested. Even with safe sex, it is wise to get tested if you are sexuallyactive with multiple partners. Often there are confidential free clinics you can go to.
