I masturbate with my pillow, what are my chances of contracting HIV?

Hie Aunty Lisa

I made a sex toy by making hole in pillow. When i masturbate, I use this sex toy, sometimes my semen enters into the pillow and I don’t mind it.

I had a slightly swollen lymph node and it disappeared within 1 day. Sometimes my penis gets hurt after vigorous masturbation. Does this practice lead to HIV infection?

You’re worried about contracting HIV from your spunked-up pillow with a hole in it? Oh my word. Are you perhaps concerned that Mr. Pillow has been having unsafe sex with other guys when you weren’t poking him?

To answer your question, no, you can’t contract HIV from your pillow. HIV is a sexually transmitted disease. That means it’s transmitted from an infected person to an uninfected person by having unprotected sex (or sharing intravenous drug paraphernalia).

I’ll repost below some questions similar to yours. I suggest you spend some time — quite a bit of time — reviewing the wealth of information on this site. Pay particular attention to exactly how HIV is and is not transmitted. It appears you have much to learn.

Good luck
