HIV -Risk Assessment - Frottage & accidental penetration
Hello Dr,
You are doing wonderful work by providing information. Here is my scenario that's keeping me awake at night.
I went to a massage parlour in Toronto area and opted for a "body-slide" This basically involved frottage that lasted for 4-5 minutes at max. Before engaging in this activity the CSW dropped tons of oil over my genitals and started by rubbing her vulva over my penis as I was lying down on the table. Because there was so much oil I thought there was a mild penetration for 5-7 seconds but I am not sure. I stopped the lady and inquired and I was told she did not.
I further inquired about her HIV status and I was told in order for her to work she gets tested yearly and her most recent testing was in Jan 2012. I have also contacted this establishment's management received the same answer.
Mind you it was only since yesterday I am having this thought that I penetrated her but I am not sure.
This event was 5 days ago from today (June 7th). My questions are as follows:
My other past "risky-er" scenarios include hand to genital contact but that can be ruled out as I was tested for STD/HIV with negative results.
1. Sir, would you be able to assess my risk for the event I have stated above for HIV and STD infection?
2. Would you prescribe/recommend testing?
Many thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Let me answer your questions here below:
1) From your description, the risk of having contracted anything would be extremely low. If you believe that there was some penetration, there would be a potential risk of having contracted a common STD, like Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea. The risk of a blood-borne virus would be more theoretical than real, simply becuase the penetration (if it happened) was very brief, and even if you had had full penetrative sex without the condom and she was positive, the risk to you would still have been very low. Therefore I do not think that you need to worry.
2) Testing would be only mainly for your reassurance and peace of mind. I would possibly only recommend testing for the common infections that could cause urethritis, mentioned above. I do not believe that you need testing for HIV, and if you wanted to be tested, the only justification would be for your peace of mind.
Best wishes,
Dr José

As mentioned above, there was no risk of HIV infection. Therefore no risk to your partner either.

Sir,
I went ahead and got Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea testing done at a public health center in Toronto. I was told by the lady there that HIV is not recommended since its too early and would have to wait a lot longer.
To close this thread this is my last question(s)
1. I have learnt my lesson. Should I move on and continue unprotected sex with my significant other? This question is for HIV strictly. Assuming
Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea is a not contracted.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
