Are There Any Chances Of Transmitting HIV Through Clothes To The Eczema Affected Area?
Hi doctor
Three data back I had intercourse with a stripper for 5 minutes
I used condom. But immediately after intercourse with taking the condom I placed penis
Inside my pant. And walked to restroom to remove it . I have eczema in my right thigh
It is minor ( no open sores). And is there any chance of transmitting HIV through clothes to that eczema area
Do I need to get any tests? If so when I need to get those tests and what type if tests?

Hello,
Thanks for the consult...
Brief answer,
HIV is not transmitted by clothes
Detailed explanation,
1. You mentioned that you have a sexual intercourse with the stripper
2. As the sperm touches the thigh it may lead to eczema - an irritation
3. If that eczema leads to a cut in the skin then there may be chance of hiv transmitted from the mucous membranes or blood from the stripper to your semen and finally into the area of the eczema
4. You will be safe if there is no cut area on the skin
5. Even if you have doubt then kindly do one of the test which i will mentioned here
a) RNA polymerase test
OR
b) PCR test
Both can be done after 21st day of exposure
Hope this information helps
