Scared & should i tell my wife?

[Joseph90265]

I was on holiday in Benin, West Africa for a week.  Just got back home.  48 hours ago, i had an encounter with one of the hotel's receptionists.  I invited her to come up to my room.  We never kissed.  We never had sex.  I just wanted to give her a massage so i undressed her, sat on her butt and rubbed her back.  I couldn't help massaging her butt and fingered her for about 3 seconds in the process.  I know that it's a low risk event but as soon as i put my right index in, i felt this burning sensation around my cuticle.  I immediately pulled it out.  I couldn't see any cuts.  I went to the bathroom, washed my hands, dried them and even tried spraying some perfume on my index to see if the alcohol would cause any burning sensation, implying a cut maybe.  Nothing happened.  Could the cut have sealed so quickly?  Why did i feel this burning sensation?  Three hours later, i poored some rubbing alcohol on the same index and felt only a very minor burn.  I didn't see any visible cuts or blood anywhere.  Could it be a microscopic cut?  Oh, and just to make matters worse, the girl told me that she was almost done with her period, which means that there could have been some blood in her secretions.  Assuming that she is HIV positive (Infections tend to be high in this part of the world), did i just get infected from her?  Should i stop having sex with my wife until i get tested in about 6 weeks time?  I feel so guitly, sick and disgusted.  Please help.

Bro ! I would love to come to Israel, as it houses some of the holiest places, equally respected by Christians, Jews and Muslims. If I ever come to your country, it would not be a routine fun vacation but more of a pilgrimage. Unfortunately, in the current political situation, it is almost impossible for me to travel to Israel on the passport I hold. Thanks a lot for your kind invitation anyway.

Thanks guys!  Much appreciated.  West Africa is great 'meworried' but be careful.  AIDS is a lot more common than you think.

Regards,

Joe

Receptionist in a West African Hotel,,,, convinced to come upstairs and agreed to avail your services,,,, wow pretty unusual eh? In my 20 years of business travelling I have never come across with such a friendly hotel staff,,, trying to make my next travel plan to West Africa.

It might be nothing but a real "brrning effect" when you inserted your index finger into the love tunnel of the "hottie", she was a real hot chick with "oven like hot stuff"

You did not have any risk of HIV transmission by fingering and massaging,,, absolute zero risk, whatsoever condition of your finger was,,, minor cuts do not make any difference. No way no how... Period.

You describe a zero risk event, even with the location.  HIV has never been known to be transmitted by finger/genital contact.  As for telling your wife, that is up to your own judgement.  I would because I'm always honest and never hide anything, but don't tell her you may have contracted HIV, that would be very foolish.  Just say you almost did something with someone else but you stopped yourself before it went any further.  If you are truly concerned, get the test at 6 weeks but I will bet all I own and will ever own that you are negative.
