Worried about HIV exposure
Hello, I had a sexual encounter with a prostitute about 4 days ago and am very concerned. I wore protection and don't beleive the condom broke, but im afraid of what happened afterwards. After taking the condom off, she gave me some sort of solution to clean myself with. First, i rubbed the area where my genital hair is with the solution on toilet paper, and then vigorously rubbed the opening of my penis with same toilet paper and solution. If her vaginal secretion had hiv and i transfeered this to my penis with the toilet paper and rubbed hard, could hiv be transferred that way. Also, on the forth day after the sexual encounter I started to have a mild fever and a feeling of something stuck in my throat (swollen lympth nodes?). Does this indicate possible hiv, or is 4 days to early to have any symptoms of the virus. Thanks
The type of exposure you describe is no risk. HIV virus is not transmitted by hand to genital contac which is similar to the mechanism you describe. The virus does not survive well outside the body.
