I did something disgusting

I saw Startrek tonight. I picked up a lemon icey cup, you know, the cup with the delicious lemon ice. Sometimes the edges can melt and the lemon ice becomes a type of lemon syrup on the pull off lid, it can get on your fingers and become quite a mess.

I pulled off the lid and noticed something sticky on my fingers, it was just after I had put the pull off lid down in the cup holder next to my seat. I didn't want to get sticky all over my hands so i went to lick it off. I want to stress that I did not lick it off, I did touch my tongue to it, but it was not licked off.

I investigated the matter a little more closely, becaus upon inspection of the lid I found very little lemon icey melted syrup. there was some, but nothing that would merit the amount which was on my fingers. So I looked at the cup holder, on the side was a splat of clear/yellow gel, sticky. When I wiped my hand on the seat next to mine, the stuff on my fingers did the long stringy thing that semen does. Yeah, I am pretty sure I put semen in my mouth.

I ran to the bathroom and threw up a few times, washed my hands and pretty much denied my past from birth to that moment. Now that I have recovered, I have to know if I am in any medical danger.

Can HIV live outside the body? Can an STD be transfered orally? Should I have myself checked out? Please don't make fun of my situation as I am fully aware how easy it would be to do it, save yourself from time, I am the one who had my tongue on possible baby batter.

I arrived 20 minutes late to the movie, so I know there was at least 40 minutes passed between the end of the last showing, and when I arrived.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    HIV is not transfered orally, but you really need to ask yourself, if you throw up from just touching some semen are you really in the position to ask a woman for a blow job again?

    To be fair, there's a subtle difference between semen you... invite into your mouth, and semen you pick up from god-only-knows who.

    For one, it's probably not semen. Come on. What type of weird position does a dude have to be in to do that. It was probably some sort of food or melted candy bar or any number of things that people actually put in cup holders.

    For two, get yourself tested if that's what's needed for your peace of mind. Nothing wrong with that.

    Is this a thing you bought.

    Or something that was left there by the previous showing?

    If previous showing, then Baby Sauce likelyhood increases dramatically.

    But then again, if it wasn't salty or non-lemony, chance decreases exponentially.

    As for NotYou's post...Even getting tested now probably wouldn't show anything, and at worse it'd start you on a course of prophylactic anti-virals that you didn't need.
    If it was something that was left there by previous people, why in gods name would you stick your fingers in it and lick said fingers without looking? D:

    The CDC disagrees with you in regards to the oral transmission of HIV

    Yes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex.
    If the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through
    • the lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis);
    • the lining of the vagina or cervix;
    • the lining of the anus; or
    • directly into the body through small cuts or open sores.
    If the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body.
    The risk of HIV transmission increases
    • if the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat;
    • if the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or
    • if the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD).
    Though it's very, very unlikely that
    1. It was actually semen
    2. That the person was HIV Positive
    3. That an active cell actually entered the bloodstream

    You most likely in the clear, but if you're really concerned it will be several months before they can conclusively determine whether you've been infected with HIV or not.

    But why on earth would you pick up someone else's trash and lick (or touch your tongue to) the goo that comes off of it?

    HIV can only live outside of the body for like 15 minutes. It's an incredibly fragile virus.

    Hepatitis, on the other hand, can live outside of the body for a long time.

    That said, the likelihood you contracted anything is really fucking low. I'm sure I'm not putting your mind at ease, but you probably don't have anything to worry about. If you're truly concerned, get tested in a couple of months when it's more likely something will show up. After that, get tested in another few months.

    This is flat out scare mongering.

    You would need to have an open sore on your mouth, and you'd need to be licking up someone else's very fresh semen. The HIV virus can't really survive exposure to oxygen; there's a reason it's a sexually transmitted disease, and you can't get it from casual contact: it's fucking fragile as shit. You are more likely to have picked it up immaculately than from that, whether it was semen or not.

    He didn't lick someone else's discarded cup. He said he licked his cup's lid after he had put the lid into the cup holder. He's suggesting there was semen in the cup holder.. which is far fetched.

    If someone is going to jerk off/get oral in the movie theatre, under what circumstances would it end up in the cup holder? On the floor, on the seat, in a discard cup, in a discarded popcorn bag, in a discarded napkin.... not likely in the cup holder, and definately not enough that you would feel a large amount of it on your cup's lid after.. enough that you'd see it become "stringy."

    If you contracted a sexually transmitted disease on that trip to the movies, it was because you fucked someone with said disease while there.

    Did you? If not, don't worry about it.

    Also, 40 minute old semen is not stringy, it would most likely be rather watery or even mostly dry by that point.

    It is massively unlikely that you will pick up HIV from this, even if it was a cup of semen that you drank from and the guy was in the final throes of AIDS. As Than said, HIV needs to be in the body to survive for very long. Forty minutes sitting out, it'll die.

    However, if it was some form of bodily fluid, then it's possible it had something else in it. It's still fairly unlikely that you'll get anything, but if you're worried take a trip to the free clinic and talk to them about it. They can test you with only minor inconvenience.

    You would be shocked at how often this occurs, I worked at a theatre for about 2 years in high school and the cup holders seem to be a man gravy target. The nicer disgusting suspects would at least use a cup, but all jokes aside I wouldn't be surprised one bit if it really was semen but I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. I think you'll be alright.

    a) Your body fights off the bacteria and you are fine
    b) You get sick and then you get better
    c) You've contracted a horrible disease and no sort of early planning or testing will help you fight it

    And your title could really be much more descriptive. Something along the lines of "I accidentally ate a strangers semen" would get more people who could help.

    And yes, the "Just swallowed a stranger's semen" would have made for a funnier/more views/title.

    It's extremely unlikely you'd contract HIV from that sort activity. Oral transmission of HIV from someone who is HIV+ and comes directly in your mouth that you then swallow is fairly unlikely. If you just touched it to your lips and tongue the odds that you'd contract HIV from that are rather low.

    Hepatitis, OTOH, is far more transmissable. I'd be maybe a little bit worried about that. Of course, the contributor of the bodily fluid would have to have an infection first. Not everyone who jerks off in a movie theater and wipes it on the cup holder is a needle freak or a chronic recipient of bareback anal.

    I completely agree, but I recommend it to any young teen as a first job to build character. How can you appreciate another job if you haven't had one that was total crap? Also the worst position there was the ticket ripper, 5-10 hours straight of standing in the same spot just staring at the clock. I just about went insane.
