Hiv antigen p24 test 14 days after exposure

hello,

14 days ago I had a "risky" situation with a same sex partner.
we engaged in mutual masturbation(without ejaculation)however
i believe i came in touch with some of his precum and i touched
my penis afterwards....
well, the day after the exposure i noticed a small red like spot
(like 3mm)on my foreskin i do not think it was bleeding it was just red and hurt
a bit when i touched but i don t know for sure since it was so small.

I got anxious i may contracted hit because the precut could have entered my
bloodstream through this"scratch".

I tested 14 days post exposure with a hit duo(antibody/antigen test)
I read that the antigen p24 is detectable 1-3 weeks post exposure
but i can t understand why my result should t be reassuring and
reliable... i do not want to retest because it s making me ANXIOUS....

PS. was my first encounter with a same sex partner.

Thank you

At no time were you ever at risk of contracting HIV from masturbation.

You do not have a concern for HIV. You did not need to test in the 1st place and seeing that you did ... you can trust your negative result and not worry about mutual mastubation in the future!

Even with broken skin...HIV is not tranmitted from mutual mastubation even with nicks, cuts and broken skin. The virus is inactive outside the body! Transmission happens inside the body as in unprotected vaginal/anal sex, sharing needles for drug use and mother to child!
