Brief Answer:
It is not HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

Glad to be replying to you again.
This is Dr.Vivek and we have had few discussions earlier, if you remember.

I do not think your prick sensation has anything to do with the oral sex you had two decades back. If both of you are healthy then there is no need to worry.

As we have discussed before, the other gentleman has been doing well and so are you. It could be an allergy that is giving you any rashes or pricky sensation right now.

You can tell me in detail about the rash and pricky sensation you are having.

Hope your query is answered.
Please write back if you have any doubts.

Your dad might be right, nothing to worry about it if there is only a scratch.

Females may shave their genitalia for many reasons in present times and it does not mean she is having sex. The reasons can be
1. They want to wear swimwear without looking bad and spend time at the beach.
2. They want to keep it clean to maintain personal hygiene.
3. To make sex or masturbation more pleasurable.

Hi I have a concern not worried ok here I go I hope you understand this I was carrying heavy buckets of water to the cabros and I keep hitting my leg with there was a scab there I don't know how long its been there on my leg and Unfortanley another worker touched the bucket with his leg as I was passing now Im not sure if I touched that area where his leg came in contact with the mental part on it As I saw he did not have any cuts or bleed ing on the leg when he came into contact with the cambro now for me I don't think I was bleeding even though i have a scan should I really worry about this encounter? you know what i mean . BTW is it too late for that woman at work is it true that she may not be interested in me. I head as well you have to act fast is this true? ir take it slow She's shy as well Do you think I blew it with this woman thanks

these are two separate Concerns thanks

Answered by Dr. Vivek Chail (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
No HIV blood involved and you are safe

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.

Please do not worry about the bucket encounter. It is most likely that the other man was not having any bleeding injury in the leg and the part of the bucket which you touched was not where his leg touched it. Blood-borne viruses, such as HIV, can persist for more than one week before they die. But since there is no blood involved in your incident, is is least likely that HIV is involved.

Making friends with co workers is entirely your choice. Please keep in mind any workplace rules which you should follow so that the other person does not feel harassed or embarrassed. It is good if she is shy. This is because she probably wants a meaningful friendship with you. Please go slow and try a be good friends first.

Answered by Dr. Vivek Chail (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Not possible to cause HIV infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.

It is not possible to get HIV in the manner described by you. Chugging tea and any other person suspected to be HIV carrier passing by will never cause the infection. It is possible that the change in acidity of ice water in the stomach mixed with starch (in sugar) that releases gas (carbon dioxide) that causes bloating. This can cause the heartburn if you have been hungry for a while.
