Can HIV Infection Spread Through Skin Contact?
I went to a strip club in germany…which later transpired to be a brothel. While I was there I got a lapdance from a stripper(HIV status unknown). She masturbated and grabbed her breasts with her hand. After a while she pushed her breasts into my face….I was wondering if there is any danger of indirectly catching HIV etc from this, if I had a cut on my lip/face and there were vaginal secretions on her breasts? I have asked a few close friends and even one doctor who said I have nothing to worry about….Yet on the web there are mixed signals with some claiming it is possible and others saying it is not???? I m very confused! If you could help out it would be appreciated.

Hello,HIV infection spreads through body fluids ,it does not spread by touching an infected person or sharing their cloths or eating with them,so you need not worry as there are no chances of you contacting the infection ,
HIV virus can survive only for seconds outside the human body ,even if there was semen on her breast the virus would not have survived for more than seconds ,so there is no risk of you contacting the infection
Try to relax as your chances of contacting the infection is nil
Thank you
