Can HIV Be Contracted Through Sex Toys?
Question: Dear Dr.Matin,I ask for your help!
I bought a sex toy for male on February 2016.
I used it without washing or taking condom.
The toy looks new but I am not sure if it is Wet as I used directly with lubricants.
I am quite afraid this is a second hand product and used by someone who have HIV .The delivering hour is about 8 hours in most.
The next day after using it , I have some itch rash at thigh, and the doctor said it looks like been bitten by some bug.
In the next 4 months until now, I continue to have chronic rhinitis for several months and acute bronchitis for one month .And my tongue looks much more white than before.
I have caught cold for more than 2 months and not OK until now,I am really scared.Looks like immunity decrease lower than before.
I want to know if fake vagina is a closed environment(with sealed package) , can HIV survive in the wet seminal fluid or female secretion for how many hours in most with Transfection ability? Is there any data or information for this?
How big is the risk for me to infected HIV from Probability and medical point of view?I never had sex experience before.

Brief Answer:
No risk
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question.
I understand there is no risk for acquisition of HIV through sex toys even if it could be a second hand bought.
HIV is a very fragile virus and dies immediately coming in contact with the environment-closed or open.
You need not worry , you don't have a HIV risk.
