Quick question that is driving me insane!
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.I have a quick question no one has bothered to answer yet. I went last Sat to a very dirty lowclass and subpar night club, actually a disguised whorehouse, where I can't rule out the presence of HIV. Thing is, while I didn't actually touch anyone let alone have intercourse, I touched things like the bar where they serve drinks, flushed the toilet down twice and whatnot. Later my pal took me home and he did have intercourse. I tried to avoid handshakes to no avail, even though he was wearing driving gloves. Like an hour later I had to masturbate, but I completely forgot to wash my hands first. I don't recall my hands being sticky with some fluid, but I think I might have touched the tip of my penis. What should I do, am I at risk? I can't work properly due to the stress, and it is slowly killing me that no one I've asked it has actually bothered to help me!
I truly implore you instruct me, please!

^ Well, if that is such the case, I'm going to have to find some way to relieve me from the stressful state of mind I've entered because of that incident. And I will have a test next June just because I'm head stubborn, but I still will try to relax like you told me. Thank you and good night.
HIV is not alive, it is active or inactive. HIV once inactive cannot be reconstituted. (Meaning cannot be made active). Touching something with your finger did not put you at risk.
HIV becomes inactive outside the host? Does that mean inactive as in killed for good or inactive as in waiting for reactivation like some sort of xenomorph?
BTW, I forgot to add that 11 days before the incident I got my middle finger pierced for a blood test and I still have the scar. Does touching anything sticky with such kind of scar change your initial conclusion? Not that I recall doing so, though, but maybe an infinitesimal trace...

HIV becomes inactive outside the host, touching things won't give you HIV, maybe Teak could give a breakdown on the mechanics on how HIV enters the body through the penis, but I can give you a short answer, not in any of the ways in which you described. Relax and have a drink or something it's Friday night (well it is here anyway)
Would you please be so kind to explain the mechanics on how does HIV enter the body through the penis, please?
BTW, even I don't recall this happening at all, let's say that there were spots of infected fluids on the table. If I had done what I did with residuals of those things in my hands, so little so small to make me think my hands are completely dry and clean while they wouldn't be, is there a risk?
Thank you.

At no time were you ever at risk of contracting HIV. HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected anal and vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child.

You absolutely cannot get HIV from environmental surfaces. It will never happen...ever. So you can masturbate without worry!
