fingering

I went to a lifestyle club the other day with a friend.  We meet a couple there and went to a privat room.  To make a long story short we played around there, kissing, touching, fingering however there was no intercourse or oral sex. I am just a bit worried about the fingering.  If he touched her and then me?  What are the risks of transmission for the receiving partner.  Your blogs talk about the giving one but never really mentions the receiving partner's risk?  Is there risk from getting fingered?  I am worried and I think the guild is getting the better of me.

All you have to do is search this forum and the HIV Expert Forum, and you will find COUNTLESS threads on this very topic.  

This activity falls into the category of mutual masturbation, and is not a risk.  This is true despite possible hangnails, small cuts/abrasions, and the exchange of genital secretions.  

No need for testing, you weren't at risk.

Thanks - read up on it and saw some of the post regarding this subject.  But i think people who post here for questions or answers are very worried and it always helps to tell us again that we are at no ristk.  Sometimes the fear takes over and all out thinking goes towards that.  I however also think that our subconscious plays tricks on us and as I know i did somethink I should not have done - my mind pays me back with all kinds of horrible thoughts.
Thanks a lot for bringing me back to reality.

Yes, without any doubt no risk.. No need to test..

donate to charity if you are thinking of doing any testing... testing would be waste of money.

Cheers.

I bet it would be a waste of money.  I have to admit i went thru something similar before regarding testing. A few years ago I did the anonymous 20min home testing, where a nurse actually comes to your home and does the test and reads it within 15 - 20 min.(it is FDA approved) but the cost is over 300 dollar.  And my worry resulted from "a passionate kiss" so you can tell i am a bit on the worried site.
