STD Risk - Protected sex at massage parlour
Hi All,
On July 6, I had a fully protected sex at a massage parlour (condom was on full time for oral and vaginal). No deep kissing and no other part of my body came in contact with vaginal fluid. At the end, condom was intact (no tears). However, I bite my fingers a lot and have broken skin and I may have accidentally touched the bottom of the condom with my fingers (outside section and base of the penis) to tie a knot for disposal. Soon after I cleaned my hands with tissue and also with soap.
I am nervous as it was my 1st time, I do not know if there is a possibility of catching HIV this way?
It's day 9 and No symptoms so far, I had a little sore throat on the same day as July 6 due to weather fluctuations and I feel fine now
Please advise, I have scheduled a 4th generation test and STD tests on July 27. I am freaking out.

Thank you for the response.
What if some vaginal fluid was on the condom and while putting the knot it touched my broken skin on my fingers. I did feel lubricant on my fingers. I am becoming paranoid and extremely anxious.

There is no risk. For HIV to infect broken skin, there needs to be a large amount of blood and large breaks in the skin. Once it hits the air, it starts dying. It's a fragile virus.
If it were this easy to transmit, everyone would have it, right? Less than 1% of the world's population does.
This is no risk for HIV or any other STD. You've been informed of this in the HIV forum already.
If this level of anxiety and paranoia is not new for you, and I suspect it isn't, please see a counselor for it. In all sincerity, you deserve to find peace.

Thank you for the assurance, Jessie!
It's my first time and thus, the anxiety is highest ever. I will try to stay calm.
Thank you again!

This is ZERO risk for HIV and no need to worry about anything at all.
