HIV-just curious about exposure

So, I'm going to try to be very calm and confident about my HIV status, but I just want to make sure with Dr. HHH, Teak, and other HIV experts on this forum...

I had sexual contact with a male last night, but he and I did not actually have risqué sexual activity. Well, we did both perform oral sex on one another, but very briefly, and I don't remember pre-*** coming out from his penis. I also rimmed him. Then, he used his saliva as lubricant for my anus, and rubbed his penis up against my anus. His penis didn't go into my anus, but rather skimmed the surface/opening of my anus head-on while it was still erect. Now, being the paranoid and hypochondriac that I am (as I fear that, by some slim chance, his pre-*** might have slipped in unnoticed into the anus through the tiny crevice), I wiped my anus as clean as possible with a towel afterwards, and even wiped it clean with a paper towel with warm water on it. The water, however, dripped down from my anus into a cut on the bottom of my leg, and I (stupidly) proceeded to wipe it with the same wet paper towel as well. The thing is that, when I wiped my anus and my leg with the paper towel, this was minutes after he had left.

He tested negative back in May, and I met with him on two occasions last year. When we did want to have anal sex, he certainly showed an interest in using condoms, which I *hope* shows that he is consistently safe and consistently tests negative. I have also heard that the virus dies in seconds once it hits the environment, and I find this very reassuring.

Can someone just put my mind at ease and/or correct my view if I'm wrong? Thanks! :)

hiv is transmiited through...

UNPROTECTED vaginal/anal intercourse
sharing of iv drug works
mother to child

do you fit that criteria?

Ditto to what Lizzie said.

And let's not start with..."I'm not sure what constitutes 'penetration'".

;0)

Well, it wasn't anal intercourse. Otherwise, he would have used a condom. But still, I guess we could call it *partial* penetration, if we involve his penis rubbing on the surface of my anus. I am, of course, assuming that *full* penetration would mean that the anus opened wide enough for transmission of infected fluids.

correct

[concernedmale89]

Okay. Call me stupid, but I'm not getting what y'all are trying to say. Should I or should I not be worried?

since when did rubbing his penis on your anus become PENETRATION.  get out the webster's dictionary and look up penetration...see if you understand it then!
