Short exposure

Drs., I'm getting better at consistently using condoms but I had a minor slip-up.

I briefly inserted my penis into a CSW's vagina for no more than 3-5 seconds. We were in the shower and I was really drunk. I quickly withdrew and washed myself off with hot water and soap. We then used condoms from there on out. I still have HSV-2...

I would assume that any exposure is a risk but 3-5 seconds? How worried should I be? I used condoms every other time.

3-5 secs is a very very short time for an exposure..nevertheless,test at 3 months for a conclusive result..
dont worry as not everyone has got hiv, you had a short exposure time and hiv is not also transmitted by a single exposure
