HIV RISK

HI, Ive been with my girlfriend now for about 2years in a committed relationship. We had unprotected sex in May/June 2009 and I got tested Jan 2010 Negative so I should be good from that encounter? Also about 10/11 weeks we engaged in protected sex...however before I used my hard penis to massage her wet vagina and clitoris without any penetration. Am I at risk from this and is my 10/11 week test conclusive?
Thanks!

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

im sorry to bug you.....i was wondering if you could clarify this. HIV can be transmitted through vaginal fluids im sure...how come by me rubbing my penis on and around her vagina and clitoris (while both being wet) poses no risk? Ive heard a ton of mixed stuff and generally NO PENETRATION = NO RISK...how true?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
****with no condom on at this point***

for someone who had a risk...a test at 3 months post exposure would be conclusive

Frottage isn't a risk of HIV transmission.

thanks for the prompt replies, so in essence I was never t risk by rubbing? I always believed vaginal fluid could infect and I was exposed to it in this case. Also I took the Clearview Complete HIV 1/2 antibody test...how accurate is that at 10/11 weeks, can I move on?

My bad.  I read that all wrong.  I thought the 10-11 weeks was after unprotected sex.

You never had a risk and don't need testing.

If you two want to be in a monogamous relationship, why don't you both get tested?  Of course, that requires you to both actually be monogamous.  That requires trust.

Anyway, 10-11 weeks is very close to three months, which is the window for a conclusive result with antibody testing.

Massaging her clitoris or other external genitalia with your penis is not a risk for transmission.
