finger and vaginal sex
hi i recently had protected vaginal sex with a sex worker and after that i took out the condom and masturbated with my hands, which had contact with the exterior of the condom. what are my risks of getting HIV from this, if she was HIV-positive?
i then took a blood test 25 days after that, and it came out negative, but in between i had finger sex with 3 different women, all of whom i think are HIV-negative. i believe my fingers had no open wounds but i can't be sure. would i get HIV from this?
it has been about 3 months since i last had sexual contact with anyone besides my girlfriend. should i take the HIV test again?

Take your B.S. to another forum. These people here that are WW have more knowledge than you on HIV and transmission. HIV is alive? Get real..
I think your fine. You probably do not have to worry all that much
HOWEVER...
You should always be concerned. HIV is carried and transferred by ALL types of bodily fluid. Any doctor will tell you that. It DOES NOT DIE INSTANTLY WITH THE CONTACT OF AIR. This does not mean it is airborne. It just means that if bodily fluid is excreted, the virus does not die. The semen from your condom the next day is enough to still transfer.
There are other trustworthy medical websites that will confirm it. When you act in any oral sex, protective or not, finger, rub, or kiss, you can contact it. Best to be tested with your partner before you act on anything. As a female, I would not feel angered to ashamed if a man asked me to do so. There are clinics out there that can test you in a flash cheaply.
Overall, my advice is stop what you are doing. It is especially unsafe and unfair to the women you doing this to. Make an appointment with your Doc and go in ready with your questions. I guarantee you, he/she will answer you with honesty. Also, i would test for STDs (there are at least 25 known types). just because you don't have symptoms, these results will show up first before any sign of HIV and could indicate any possibilities of HIV infection in the future.

thank you all for your comments.
to scaredmark: do you mean to say that if my hands had her vaginal fluid and i masturbated (thereby touching my penis with the fluid), the HIV would not have survived to infect me? how much is "sufficient"? sorry for all these questions, i am scared out of my wits.
also, can someone tell me how accurate a 25-day test is in determining the results?
thanks again, very much appreciated.

Because:
A. HIV does not live outside a host. when it is exposed to air, it dies almost immediately.
B. IF indeed the person was HIV+, there would have to be sufficient virus to transmit.
C. I have NEVER heard of such a risk whereby someone was infected this way.
You need to let it go.

thank you all for the replies, i appreciate them but all the replies have been "zero risk, no worries" without telling me why... i am especially concerned about the fact that my hands touched the condom exterior with vaginal fluid before i touched my own penis (might have been the tip). could someone explain the rationale behind why touching my penis after touching the condom exterior is riskless...?
hi i appreciate the answers and im not trying to be a ***** here but i went online to check and the world aids website said that there is zero risk of transmission via vaginal fluids only when it dries, so my question really is, does the exterior of the condom kill the virus, since i think i touched it (not sure, the woman might have taken it off for me i can't remember) and then touched my penis. please don't tell me im crazy, im just looking for the answers.
you are truly crazy and are not listening to what Teak said. Teak is not stupid and understands what you are saying. so please understand what we are saying. No risk.
the thing is, my hands touched the EXTERIOR of the condom, which had vaginal fluid, and then i masturbated and I am not sure if the hands touched the tip of my penis... doesn't that expose me to risk?
I am truly worried and I am afraid I might have done my girlfriend in on top of doing myself in.
