Posted on Tue, 12 Jul 2016
Question: Dear sir,I ask for your help!
I bought a sex toy for male 13 of February 2016.
I used it without washing or taking condom.
The toy looks new but I am not sure if it is dry as I used directly with lubricants.
I am quite afraid this is a second hand product and used by someone who have HIV.(The second hand product is common here in developing countries)
The delivering hour is about 8 hours in most.
The next day after used it , I have some itch rash at thigh, and the doctor said it looks like been bitten by bug.
In this 4 months , I continue to have chronic rhinitis for one months and acute bronchitis for one month .And my rhinitis is not OK until now.More than 2 months.It seems that my
immunity decrease.And my tongue looks much more white than before.
I want to know is there a RISK for HIV ? Do I need to take HIV test?I am so afraid and this is a shame and tough in developing country to see the doctor for this.But I am so scared for so many symptom which never shows before and I don't have sex experience before.
Is it possible for HIV virus to survive in a closed environment as fake vagina for living in the seminal fluid or female secretion ?
If yes, how many hours for most? Data or numbers will help understand more!
It will be really appreciate for your answer , thanks in advance!

Brief Answer:
The risk for HIV is very unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Exp,

Welcome to HCM.

The survival of HIV virus outside the human body or in an open environment is very difficult and it will die within seconds only so the exposure is very less risky in your case for HIV transmission.

The symptoms of acute bronchitis and chronic rhinitis are non specific for HIV so don't worry and consult expert for further management. You can go for HIV testing for your satisfaction and result will clear all the doubts so be relaxed and move on.

Thank You
