Q: 

Does washing with soap and water kill sperm on hands?

My boyfriend and I engaged in manual sex. If before fingering me he had semen on his hands, I wanted to know if him washing his hands with soap and water is enough to get rid of the sperm so it can't get my pregnant. I'm not on birth control and we didn't use protection. As a precaution before manual sex aka fingering, are soap and water enough to make sure that my boyfriend has no sperm on his hands? I also gave him a handjob and he ejaculated with wet fresh semen on my hands but I went to the bathroom and washed it off with luke warm water and antibacterial soap and then dried after. After drying I urinated and washed my vagina with antibacterial soap touching it with the same hand, in order to prevent a UTI. I'm sorry I'm just really worried that I may not be pregnant so I'm freaking myself out. This event happened March 15th (11 days after my period had started) so its been over 2 weeks since then, if I take a pregnancy test will it be accurate? I don't expect my period till April 3rd

Hello Anonymous,

Once semen dries, sperm dies. Wiping your hands probably removed the semen.

Vaginal pain is not a sign of early pregnancy.

If you are not ready to become a mother, I suggest you start using some form of birth control on a daily basis.

Hello Anonymous,

A baby wipe product is effective as was your hand cleansing technique. No need to worry because I do not think your girlfriend could become pregnant this way.

Hello Anonymous,

By you fingering her, your girlfriend is not a virgin any more.
Wiping your hands with a wet tissue and antiseptic (soap?) removes any semen. I don't think your girlfriend could have become pregnant from this sexual encounter.

Hi, my boyfriend and I engaged in manual sex last night. We both touched his penis, which may have had precum on it, and awhile later he fingered me. I am on birth control, but I expect my period in five to six days. Is there a possibility of me becoming pregnant? Thanks.

Hello Anonymous,

You cannot become pregnant by your boyfriend fondling your buttocks. Any semen that was on your fingers would have come off on the toilet tissue. Depending on the amount of time, the semen might have dried and the sperm died.

There is very little chance of getting pregnant this way, but all it takes is one sperm.

Depending upon your personal definition of virginity, since you have engaged in sexual activity, you are no longer a virgin.

You need to start using some form of birth control daily. Using birth control consistently and abstinence are the only ways to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.

Hello Anonymous,

Yes, take a look at his hands before you let him touch you.
