What is an open wound?

Can someone please explain this to me? The other night I had a hookup, there was only oral sex. I ate dinner a few hours before and met up with him later that night. I woke up the next morning to find out I had lightly burned my taste buds. I have looked all over the internet searching for examples on what open wounds are. Google pulls up the same exact stuff and I have gone through 30 pages! None of them explain if a light burn from food is an open wound. They all say this; “It is a wound that is bleeding” basically. My light burn was not bleeding the night of oral sex. If can, please give me a site so I can do research on STDs for future reference. I am not the kind of guy to just have a hookup everyday, but I do have one on occasion.

On the site please make sure it is detailed info. Not just something like; “Oh this this and this isn’t spread by this. But of if you have a cut your more at risk.” Etc, I’d like to know what the risks are. I have little to know knowledge when it comes to STDs. But I always make sure to have an HIV test once every 4 months.

Dude, STDs don’t appear overnight. There’s at least a 3 week incubation period for herpes, and some other stuff that takes up to 6 months.

It’s more likely you killed a taste bud with something either really spicy, really salty, or really sour. It will go away in a few days. Source: Habanero hot sauce, pop corn, Warheads candy.

I know that part about STDs not showing up over night. I just want to know if a burn is considered an open wound or not.

Not what he is asking.

Edit:
Woops, NT beat me to it. To many tabs open at one time.

burn or canker sore?

Please someone clarify, I am on page 60 of Google and everything is the fucking same. Even when you type it into the search bar, “Is a burn an open wound?” It brings back nothing about it and it only brings back degrees of burns or how to “burn an open wound shut”. Which is not what I’m looking for.

It’s just the taste buds on the tip of my tongue. I even called my fucking doctor and he didn’t give a definite answer. He just told me to come in, but I am not! He just wants money and I just need info.

Email one of the educational org sites and ask them?

Seriously? I might do that…if no one on here knows.

An open wound would generally be something that is weeping or where the skin is parted e.g. an active cold sore is an open wound, a cut is an open wound. Generally a burn is the opposite of an open wound (in that burns cauterise) but in the mouth or anus or elsewhere that is covered in something wet, a burn might be an open wound. Generally speaking burning yourself on hot food will not cause an open wound. The anus is very good at open wounds but generally we don’t rub ani together in sex.

With oral sex and no open wound it would be hard to transmit HIV. I think it’s generally thought that you have swap around 3 litres of bodily fluid, when kissing, for your chances of transmitting HIV to be good (this is old info I remember and thus suspect). I would expect this amount to go down if you swallow cum but not by too much (the stomach is not a great environment for a virus). Some other STDs are far more easily transmissible.

HIV is normally not detectable within 6 months of infection but if you can’t detect it, you might find it hard to transmit it.

Thanks Mem! I know about canker sores being open wound. I had burned my tongue on some food and didn’t know it till the next morning. So it is not possible for hot food to cause an open wound on your tongue? Unless you just let hot lava sear it? :p

Hot lava would probably seal up the wound nicely. Look at Pompeii.

Of course it’s possible. With food it’s unlikely. You’d probably want to be eating something with razor blades in it.

It’s possible that every time you walked into a road from now on that you would get hit by a bus. Of course, that would probably only happen once. The chances of it happening once are pretty remote. Maybe the chance of causing an open wound with food is a bit higher than that. It’s definitely higher than getting hit by a bus twice in a row.

Well hello Mr. Vanilla!

Is this an Inuit form?
