very concerned

I had protected sex but an hour later i noticed that there was dried up vaginal secretions on my boxers. If my penis head rubbed against the dry secretions is there a chance that i could get hiv or any other std?

As Rubywitch said, you had no risk. I'm just repeating what she said. Any secretions, dried or wet, once exposed to air, is useless and can't infect you.

Ok thanks for your reply
So if my penis touched the vaginal secretions on my boxers while it was still wet or even when it dried i couldnt have got chlamydia or ghonnorea or even hiv? Sorry its really on my mind. I dont know if its anxiety causing the frequent urination and discomfort or what but i was fine before i had sex. I waited for 3 days and tested negative for stds can i trust my results?

NO RISK. NO NEED TO TEST.
Any body fluids that had been on your boxers for an hour had long been exposed to air and temperature changes that render the virus inactive.

Thanks and is that just hiv or all stds period? And i noticed a hour later that the vaginal secretions were there meaning that it was there before i noticed. So if the head of my penis touched it before it dried up would that be an hiv risk or risk for other stds? Ive been having frequent urination but no burning or discharge.
