On the forums at TheBody.com, an Online HIV/AIDS treatement, testing and prevention resource, a substantial number of reader questions are... well... a bit off in left field. I was on to ask about the potential HIV risk of oral sex when cum drips out your nose (don't ask), but I had to pass on these other amusing questions asked of Dr. Frascino, found here.

Hey Dr. Bob,

If I were to gargle with blench after oral sex would that help?

Hello,

"Blench"? What the hell is blench?

Assuming you mean bleach, you are wondering if drinking it would keep you from getting HIV/AIDS??? Well, let's see . . . . If you drink bleach, it will kill you, so since you'll be dead, you won't be able to have unprotected sex and therefore won't contract the virus.

Here is a questions

1 can hiv start off for no aparent reason. No one is m family is HIV poz and I hadnt had sex yet do I have a chance of becoming HIV poz.

2. Can you get Aids from masturbating from the wrong way. I put my hand into a cylindrical form and then I do it. Am I in any danger.

3. Does masterbating caouse any STDS or disease.

I had bad education in sex-ed our teacher was horrible.

You are my hero seriously

Response from Dr. Frascino

Questioner retuning to you now, the answer at all your questions is a resounding "no!" For more details about masturbation, STDs and HIV, review the information in the archives.


Bizarre but True

Dear Dr. Bob:

A month ago I had a potential exposure receptive vaginal sex without ejaculation. Two weeks later, I got my period (at least Im not pregnant), but, and here comes the bizarre part, my dog got into the garbage can and ate a fairly fresh (approximately hour after changing) sanitary pad. Now, I know dogs cannot contract HIV, but what worries me about this incident is that the dog has a habit of licking my son smack on the mouth, and I am frightened that this may have happened immediately after the pad incident. Would this constitute a risky exposure? Two weeks after this happened, my son came down with a febrile illness. His doctor ran a CBC and feels his illness is bacterial, but I did not tell her of the incident. Am I freaking over nothing, or have I placed my son in danger?

Response from Dr. Frascino

So you are wondering if Fido's fetish for munching on used Kotex pads and then licking your son on the mouth might have put him at risk for HIV. Nah, it might qualify him for a spot on David Letterman's "Stupid Pet Tricks" segment, but it's definitely not an HIV risk.

a street walker gave me a blowjob and i am deathly afraid of hiv. there were no cuts on me. her i do not know. i have had stools after eating(that all smell the same), pain in the buttocks and legs, hot flashes, a couple incidences of fever and a headache after day 22. am i at risk. by 11 day proviral pcr dna test was negative. i am awaiting a rna test now. please advise. i also did not know about the pep treatments. i am 26, what are my chances of making 60? thanks

Response from Dr. Frascino

Hi,

All your stools smell the same???? Hmmm . . . OK, if you say so. But were you perhaps expecting some of them to smell like gardenias or a nice spicy potpourri?

Your HIV risk is negligible. Your symptoms, including the stools that all smell like poop, are not worrisome for or suggestive of HIV. If you remain worried about HIV, get a single rapid HIV test at the three-month mark.

I was at this party with some of my freinds and the owner of the house was HIV+, the owners son who i was there with was also HIV+; however, i didnt know this at the time. I used this guys bathroom..and since he didnt have any toliet paper i wipped w/his shower curtain..and now i am deathly afaid that i too am HIV+. I dont know whether or not this matters but i was also on my period at the time ,so could it have gotten into my blood streem now?.. When i used this shower curtain it was not wet..but im still afraid that something may have been on it, because i read some where that sperm stays good for atleast 5 days.

Response from Dr. Frascino

Hello,

You "wipped w/ his shower curtain," because he was out of toilet paper??? And you were on your period, so you're worried HIV could have gotten into your blood "streem????" Hmmm . . . I can't believe you used the dude's shower curtain!!! Your HIV risk is nonexistent. So is your chance of ever being invited back to that dude's home!
