I hope this is one where you say, I've read only your title and....
Last week I had intercourse, briefly, with a CSW (actually a topless dancer, but what's the difference). I was wearing a condom. I am concerned, hopefully unnecessarily so, because I have psoriasis and jock itch and my scrotum is often itchy and red. I scratch it, obviously. On this day, I checked my scrotum after the "exposure" and observed no open cuts or scratches, i.e., no blood. I cannot guarantee there was no open scratch or cut, though, only that there was no blood. I am concerned that vaginal fluid may have come into contact with a scratch or cut.
I have read similar posts, concerning shaving, in which the responses have consistently been that there is no HIV risk from vaginal fluid coming into contact with razor burns or small cuts. I hope that is dispositive of my situation as well and that testing is not necessary. Please confirm.
The only other thing perhaps worth menioning is that yesterday, 5 days post "exposure", I came down with a fever (99.0-99.5) and very bad diarrhea. I know it is never appropriate to gauge HIV risk by symptoms, but does this change your analysis? Can ARS present in 5 days?
Much thanks. I know you've answered questions like this before. But I figure I am, hopefully, buying peace of mind for $20 and providing a service to others -- hopefully they will also be reassured by your answer.
