Frottage - possible penis rub against anus
Dear Dr, I did not heed your advice and now I am back here again, but it is for the last time as I am ending with this lifestyle for good.
Today I visited a female and a transexual prostitute and I received protected oral (no risk, I know) from both of them. Risky parts:
1) while wearing a condom I performed frottage between the thighs of the transexual. During this activity the condom broke and I did not notice until the end. It is possible that the head of my penis pressed against her anus, however, there was a sexual toy inserted in there (b***plug), so my penis did not fit inside. I did not feel any pressure, but let's imagine the worst case scenario that the tip of the head of my penis went 2 millimetres inside between the rim of her anus and the plug. Would that be a risk?
2) I have a quite fresh deep cut on the fingertip of one of my fingers. It was covered with band aid and I did not insert this finger anywhere, but could that have been a risk, e.g. if I brushed it against a vagina could a small amount of vaginal fluid get under the band aid and into my blood stream?
The only good thing that happened to me today was that I got scared out of my wits and I will definitely never do this again.

Welcome back to the Forum and whether you appreciate it or not, congratulations of your successful adoption of safe sex practices. They will keep you healthy. I do not see the events that you have described as being dangerous to you or your health. Details:
1. Sorry to hear of your condom failure- this happens about 1% of the time condoms are used. Despite this there was no risk. No penetration, no risk. I doubt that there is anything such as 2mm of penetration-either you did or you didn't. From what you say, you didn't.
2. Similarly, your fresh cut does not pose a risk. Even if you were not wearing a band aid, a cut that has stopped bleeding has sealed off and does not represent a risk for HIV.
Thus to summarize I see no risk for the events you describe, no reason for concern, and no reason for testing.
Finally with regard to your last question, you are correct- people who take current therapy for HIV can live entirely normal lives. The therapy may fail ir persons do not take their medications regularly or if for some reason they cannot tolerate their medication. There are many nuances to this (drug allergies, etc.) but they are exceptions to the general rule.
I hope this comment is helpful to you. EWH

This will be a slightly offtopic question, but I'll ask just to ease my mind for the next nine weeks that I will have to wait until the testing. I know the life expectancy for HIV infected people who get treated early in the developed world is close to the normal lifespan, but are there any exceptions? For example, can my body reject the medicine or can I develop opportunistic diseases or HIV dementia even though I am being treated?
