Freaking out

Thanks for your help in advance. I'm freaking out because this guy I had an encounter with told me that he had unprotected anal sex with several partners. He told me this only after everything happened. I asked him before and he said he was negative, but who knows. I guess I should phrase my questions better.

So all we did was a lot of deep kissing and some frottage. However, when I came back home, upon brushing my teeth, my gums bled a little (happens once in a while to me). I dismissed it saying that this happened after the event.

Then, I saw a hickey and some teeth marks with blood under the skin (not sure if there was ever active bleeding) and freaked. Is there any risk of HIV from this?

Should I get PEP - I have about 24 hours left to get PEP.

Thanks.

What is the skin broke? Also, what if there was blood in his mouth? When should I test?

No risk--No nPEP required--No testing required--forget about this.

At not time were you at risk of contracting HIV in the situations you provided.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child

Thanks for the reassurance.

I have 2 more questions:

- Is there any risk from a lot of sweat on the head of an uncut penis?
- Would i have known if there was any dipping, even just for 1 sec into his anus? (I was top)

Sorry, just to clarify - the sweat of the supposed HIV+ person on my penis.

Thanks. This will be my last question.

Confused by this:

http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SafeSex/Q223562.html

Which test is very accurate at 28 days? Is this low risk or no risk?

Please don't say that I am over-posting. I am genuinely confused because I submitted the same question on 2 forums and have completely different answers...

Move on, we don't care what other websites say.

You are freaking out for nothing and the body.com is about as consistent as a porn star using condoms.
