whether infected with hiv

[Mathew1313]

I went to Thailand one month back . I went for a body massage. During massage I am on my towels, but I fondled her boobs for quiet long time and had given her some closed mouth kisses. At last she told me she got ejaculate. She was wearing underwear all time. Is there any way of contracting hiv. Is there any chances of getting hiv if her vaginal fluid on her underwear touches any of my body parts even tip of penis eventhough chances are less. Any chances of getting hiv if she touches her hand with vaginal fluids on my nose or by holding her body. I am worried because after 8days I had cold and fever for2days. The cold and cough lasted for more than 2weeks for which I have to take clavox and then ciprofloxacin . After that I had severe attack of stomach upset followed by abdominal floating gas frequency for passing stools and I believe anal sores also.. I am already diagnosed for ibs and piles before.. but even after taking tablets for Ibsen. I still have the stomach problems. Do I have to check for hiv now... can I have unprotected sex with my wife. Please advise. For checking hiv I have to travel out of the country which I am residing

Welcome to our Forum.  Based on the history you have provided, I can assure you that there is no risk that you acquired HIV from the massage you received.  HIV is spread among adults ONLY through penetrative genital or ano-genital sexual contact or through injection of infected material deep into tissue.  It is not spread by kissing, masturbation (even when partners get each other’s genital secretions on each other), or through clothing.  there is no reason for concern related to this contact and no need for testing.

I suspect that your symptoms are due to some other flu-like illness or cold caught during your travels.  These are typically caused by non-sexually transmitted viruses common in most communities.  EWH
