Is there a chance of HIV transmission if the outside of the condom touches my penis after ejaculation? I'm a bit worried about this and just want to understand the risks.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
HIV transmission risk is very low in this scenario, as the outer side of the condom would only be exposed to semen after ejaculation, and HIV requires direct contact with mucous membranes or open wounds to transmit. However, it's always good to be cautious about condom integrity and handling to reduce any potential risk.

View allI'm a 24-year-old female and I've been struggling with typhoid for the past few years. This time, it's hit me twice in just a two-month gap. I had a typhidot test after taking some medicine, and it came back weakly positive. I'm wondering if Monocef is a good option for treating typhoid in my case? I'm also dealing with a lot of weakness, joint pain, chest pain, and headaches. What should I do?
yes monocef is enough and take healthy food and water, normally typhoid take 2 wks to subside

I'm really worried because it's been 34 days since I got bitten by a stray dog, and the dog's still alive. Does that definitely mean it wasn't carrying or spreading the rabies virus when it bit me?
If the stray dog that bit you is still alive after 34 days, it significantly reduces the likelihood that the dog was shedding rabies virus at the time of the bite, as dogs typically die within 3-14 days after showing symptoms of rabies, but it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or local animal control for further guidance and to determine if post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is still necessary.

I recently had protected sex with a sex worker, but she gave me a blowjob without a condom. Should I be worried about the risk of HIV?
While using a condom during vaginal or anal sex significantly reduces the risk of HIV, oral sex (especially unprotected) does carry a lower but not negligible risk. The likelihood of transmission through oral sex is much lower than with penetrative sex, but it's still important to monitor for any symptoms and consider getting tested for peace of mind. If you have concerns, consult a healthcare provider for advice and potential testing.
