@nurse_nettie oh okay I see, this information is still reliable right from you? And I can’t call that number as I am not from AU.
@fiona6666 Hey Fiona, I appreciate your need for in depth information. Why don’t you email me directly with your questions so I can reply to you personally? Thanks.
This is such a good thread. Thank you so much for all your insight Nurse Nettie!
What is the likelihood of transmission if I rubbed a strippers vagina (just ran my fingers across the outside of the lips, no penetration whatsoever), then drove home, I washed my hands with soap, and then masturbated? There was about 20+ minutes between touching her and touching myself.
Hi @caldude27, It’s unlikely you’ll get anything from what you’re describing. The fact that you’ve washed your hands with soap is the most important factor in the context. Feel free to email Nurse Nettie privately for future private concerns.
@Nurse_Nettie ok great thank you! Just to be very clear – I don’t remember any fluids of any kind being on my hand after the encounter. And then I handled some money, and drove home (~15 minutes) and then washed my hands for 7-10seconds with soap and water.
What is your email?
Hi, @caldude27 you can send me any questions via https://playsafe.health.nsw.gov.au/nurse-nettie/ and it will come through to my inbox that way 🙂
