Was this a risk do I need to test
Just need some clarification male 40 years old and have a protected bj to another male-no risks
Was anally fingered may have been some precum from him present on his fingers. Was this a risk?
Toy was inserted in my anus it did have a condom on and was not previously immediately used was this a risk,
Three weeks later had nausea and diarrhea, no fever but felt slightly under the weather for 2 weeks
Do I need to run out and test.
Recently did my yearly sexual health check up but not sure if I need to go in again
Thanks

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air ( hand, maybe blood, maybe cuts, mouth, precum, condom, toy, etc. ) . You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you ANSWER "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus. You can't get hiv when you use a condom.
If you still have questions about your risk, after reading all of the above, then it is because you didn't answer the QUESTION above.
YOur sickness has nothing to do with hiv, since you can't have hiv.
