HIV Exposure

[scared11883]

I had protected sex with a Thai bar girl in Patong.  I am very worried/paranoid about possible HIV exposure as I tend to think the worst all the time. The condom seemed fine and did not break or anything.  However I am worried about the following possiblities:

1. Before putting on the condom there was skin to skin contact.  The end of my penis may have come into contact with the outside of her vagina although there was nothing intentional and certainly no penetration.
2. I remember touching her vagina with my fingers.  Again no real penetration but I do recall feeling some moisture.  No real cuts on my fingers but one of my cuticles was slighly broken from me biting it which I have a habit of doing.
3. There was some kissing - can anything be transmitted through kissing? (mostly worried about HIV).  I know herpes can but she has no signs of anything and I already get cold sores myself so it probably doesnt matter.

The girl seemed very clean and shy and was stunning.  She also seemed very modern i.e. had a mobile phone (seemed like a iPhone or similar) on which she seemd to be using some sort of social media and had internet connection.  She also had her own motor cycle.

I know all the stats are quite low but I can't stop thinking about the devastating ramifications if I have contracted HIV.  It was 8 days ago and I have no symptoms of anything but the 3 months wait for a test is gonna kill me.

Has anyone had any similar experiences??

Thanks

Reread what you have already been told.

Hi Teak.  I have had a mental "relapse" and cant stop having negative thoughts brought on mainly by the fact that I recently developed what is probably just some sort of respiritory infection (green phlem, blocked nose/sinus).  It concerns me because I am somebody that almost never gets sick.  Can you confirm again from my original post that you are confident that I had no exposure?  I am now much more educted by reading your responses to other posts and am confident about the kissing and fingers part of it.  But what about the protected penetration?  Is it 100% safe?  Some websites suggest it is not 100% or is that factoring in breakages?  Common sense tells me that there was no way for any fluids to be transferred and I am aware of the virus's inability to reproduce or survive outside the body.

Also although my symptoms do not appear typical of ARS can the HIV virus lower one's immune system this early such that one can get other infections that they would ordinarily not get?

Should I even bother getting tested at the 3 month mark?

Thank you again for your support.

Thank you so much.

You didn't have an exposure in any of those situations. You do not have an HIV concern.
