Hello doctor, can someone get hiv if he rubs his penis while masturbating with a cloth containing somebody else's dried semen on it which has been a week long since it dried up. please clear my doubt as i am having anxiety thinking over it?

Relax and stop being anxious. No worries.

No, HIV transmission is not possible in above mentioned scenario, HIV related anxiety is likely, talk to your doc about your fears.

HIV is transmitted through an exchange of bodily fluids. Semen dries up in 3-5 minutes outside the body on surfaces and on objects. This semen is inactive and dead and can't cause any diseases or pregnancy.
