Risk Analysis

Hi,

I recently was involved in a sexual encounter with a colleague.  It involved kissing and me fingering her clitoris. I never fully inserted my finger into her vagina but rub the clitoris outside.  

I am now scared to death of HIV (she complained about being sick for very long and has an ex who tested positive).  I don't know what to do?!  My finger's looked fine but I dont know if i had miniscule cuts.

I last tested negative before this incident.  Am I still negative?  Do you suggest PEP?

Hi Teak. Thank you for keeping me sane in this time of heightened anxiety. When you determine risk, is it done assuming the girl is positive? Meaning even IF the girl was positive, me fingering her and kissing her is no risk?

That's the point, you don't need to test, you never had an exposure.

Hi Teak, so ignore the other guy? I'm scared now to test. I read places where they said its a low risk exposure especially based on cuts/cuticles on your hand. I'm not sure what to do? I didn't see any cuts on my hand nor did I see my finger wet with fluid but I read that the clitoris does have a lot of vaginal fluids also.  Do you think I'm still negative?

Ignore that poster you didn't have a risk and don't need testing .

This is a low risk exposure. I don't think PEP is warranted. Go get tested at 12 weeks post exposure to ease your mind.
