Avatar n tn About 1 month ago I came down with a stomach virus. Ever since then I have been nauseated and constant diarrhea. It can't be new medications because I'm not on anything new. I do have an appetite, but I hate to eat because it makes me feel worse.

Avatar f tn So does herpes infect where the virus was transmitted? If he had hsv2 on stomach would it spread to my stomach? I was naked so could it spread to genitals?

1770029 tn?1325802355 Hi and sorry you are ill. There is no such thing as "stomach flu" meaning the influenza virus does not cause flu in the stomach. It is considered gastroenteritis. The symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, low grade fever up to 100 degrees and possible cramps are caused by many things, virus or bacterial. However, the most common cause is a virus called Norovirus. It is spead from person to person by fecal oral contamination.

Avatar f tn It could still be a stomach virus, however, it could be a bacteria or even parasite. I recenlty had a stomach virus that lasted about 7-8 days. Have you ever been tested for or diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)? Your headaches could very well be a sign of dehydration - with all the diarrhea, you can get dehydrated pretty quickly. Be sure and stay well hydrated - water, ginger ale, sports type drinks are all good.

Avatar n tn Ooo gosh everyone in my house has a stomach virus, really worried about my 1yr old, she's not eating anything only sips on water, also worry I might caych it. .that would be no good. I'm 38wks today! !!
Avatar m tn A peptic ulcer is usually sores on the inside of your stomach or small intestines. This is what you are talking about? Or do you have sores on your mouth? Either way, neither is a risk for HIV transmission. Kissing is not a way that people get HIV. HIV in adults is transmitted by penetrating, unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles. That is really it. Saliva and air inactivate the virus so kissing is not a means of transmission.
Avatar n tn s possible but considering hypothetical situations) consumption of infected fluid is not the right mechanism of HIV transmission, the gastric acid in your stomach inhibits the virus.
Avatar n tn The risk of injury during anal intercourse is many times higher than that during vaginal sex. Also, the risk for transmission of the HIV virus is higher for anal sex than for vaginal sex.Precautions should be taken to prevent damage to the rectal area, such as lubrication and also the use of protection, such as condoms to stop the transmission of STDs.
Avatar m tn I had protected intercourse with a girl, then I ejaculated on my stomach and cleaned myself with a towel, the girl who was with me picked the same towel and used it to wipe her genitals. My semen was on it, is there any risk of HIV or STD transmission for her?
Avatar f tn Hello, I have a 2 part question about herpes transmission. the first question is this: Can one person with Herpes of the mouth (cold sores) spread herpes to another person by kissing their stomach? Can the virus spread from the person's skin on their stomach down to their genitals (since it is below the stomach) ?
Avatar n tn s not an issue for transmission. It takes more than just coming into actual contact with the virus to get infected. It takes some heat and friction too. You dont have to worry about for instance touching a cold sore then opening a door and then the next person touching the door knob and then touching their face being an issue. For as common as herpes is - the virus really is a whimp.
Avatar m tn ll be honest, she did not smell like a bed of roses, but nothing overwhelmingly stomach turning. We had protected vaginal sex, but condom did not break. Now I have been reading that Cunnilingus has close to zero risk of transmission for HIV, but I have also read that if there is a presence of Bacterial Vaginosis, then risk of HIV transmission is greatly increased. Also, to mention, I did brush my teeth and tongue about 5 minutes before cunnilingus. -On Sept.
Avatar f tn also, is the skin a protective barrier against herpes? like, I assume the virus is more easily transmitted if the virus comes in contact with an open area such as the genital area or an opening in the skin, but what if the skin is in contact and no openings or cuts or anything?
Avatar n tn s exposed the more inefficient the virus gets. The virus dies quickly outside of the body. Just remember not to remove the condom during genital contact.
Avatar f tn Then, they have an immature digestive tract that does not kill the virus. In adults, both the quantity injested and the salive and stomach acid would destroy the virus. In your case, the milk hit your eye, which is a mucous membrane alright....but the amount of virus in that minute amount of breastmilk will not transmit HIV. Add to that the very, very low risk of transmission through the eye and the low risk that the milk was hiv infected in the 1st place. All told, no risk and no worries!
Avatar m tn I am worried about the chance of transmission from when she apparently was bleeding and kept cutting my hair. She handed me her comb and had me use it after she was done, and I can only assume there was blood on it. I am sick to my stomach with worry. Is there a chance I contracted something if I had a wound I didn't know about on my scalp?
