Question 1

can hiv be transmitted through 1 day old cuts and vaginal secretions outside the body?

Accepted Answer

HIV Risks: I would like more information to get a specific idea on what you are truly concerned about. 
Hiv is in infected humans' body fluids.  But, the virus is very fragile and does not last long outside of the body.  I would not advise anyone with open sores or fresh cuts to let any infected body fluid near these lesions.

My gut sense is that this situation is very low risk and to reassure you.

Question 2

i have vaginal secretions sometimes white or yellow with foul smell even though i'm still virgin and it is not itchy what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See your provider: Most likely, it is bacterial vaginitis.  This is a build up of bacteria that causes your symptoms. You may get this even if you are a virgin. A diagnosis may be obtained with a pelvic exam and a couple of simple tests in the office.  The treatment is an oral or vaginal antibiotic.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Seems thick: Suggest an endometrial biopsy or hysteroscopic guided biopsy.

Question 4

what types of vaginal secretions are normal?

Accepted Answer

Without symptoms: Usual rule is no itching, burning, or odor no treatment.  Discharge alone can be normal.

Question 5

what do i do with my vaginal secretions and how to stop them?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Vaginal secretions are normal and serve a protective role. Please do not try to get rid of them, or you would have significant problems in the future. If you think you have secretions that are excessive, that could be due to some type of infection, etc. You should  then have this evaluated by your health care provider.

Question 6

is it possible to predict ovulation based on vaginal secretions?

Accepted Answer

As one factor: There are a number of possible signs of ovulation. Vaginal discharge can increase in amount & become watery to stretchy. It has been described as a “raw egg white ” consistency. You may have an increased libido. Body basal temperature increases. The cervix becomes softer and higher. Breasts may be tender.  Use of an ovulation predictor test is a good way to check.

Question 7

can vaginal secretions contain hiv? and can it be transferred through oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Vaginal secretions can contain hiv. Hiv can be tranferred by oral sex, though less likely, more likely to happen if the oral mucosa has bleeding, but this can be caused by things as simple as brushing the teeth too aggressively or having severe gingivitis.

Question 8

i have vaginal secretions,very low in amount,white,no smell,before baby i use to had it after periods for a day or two but now almost 2weeks/month?

Accepted Answer

Normal: The secretions are there to protect the vagina from infection and are normal. Once you delivered the secretions are now normally increased.

Question 9

i had sex for the 1st time. did not bleed. 2 days heavy clear vaginal secretions. now brown to black odorless thickening discharge. probable causes?

Accepted Answer

Unsure: That you did not bleed is quite normal. That this discharge is odorless is probably good but I'm not able to imagine why you'd have such a dark thick substance coming from your vagina. No pain? (good) If it was non-fresh blood, it would not be odorless. I'd see a doctor for an exam but I expect it may not be related at all to losing your virginity. Don't worry - just check.

Question 10

i have whitish excessive non foul smelling vaginal secretions and my labia minora has two whitish lumps on it. what can be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Candida: It is likely a yeast infection; the "balls could be inclusion cysts or boils, hard to say, would need more information, try mobistar, even if not itching, see what happens.
