HIV RISK

I'm kind of worried.

About a month ago this guy basically came in my nostrils and I couldn't breathe so I basically had to snort it and spit it through my mouth.

Would the risk be higher than oral sex? I mean, it would have probably entered the bloodstream through my pharynx or something.

Is it lower than anal?

Thank you

Mucous membranes are not all "built" the same.  You had ZERO risk, and you don't need testing.

No risk at all, as soon as the spunk hit the air, any POTENTIAL virus is rendered inactive.

I fully expect your test to be Negative from the above exposure, in fact, not one person has caught HIV this way so you can stop worrying and start living :)

Best Wishes

doesn't the nose have a mucous membrane as well? Wouldn't it be easy for HIV to enter that way. I read it's pretty thin, even thinner than in the eye. Wouldn't HIV enter through there just as it enters through the rectum?

Sorry for replying so late. I am getting an HIV test this week and I am freaking out. x
