naked body to body massage- HIV exposure??

Hello Doctor. I went to a naked body to body massage.
No genital, oral contact nor vaginal intercourse.
The thing is that for most of the massage she was moving back and forth on my back
I did not come into contact with any vaginalfluids,other than when she was sitting on my back and moving back and forth rubbing her breasts in my back and her vagina in my butt while she was moving.I noticed was that she was wearing panties. Supposing she was HIV+ could her fluids be in contact with my bloodstream if I had an anal fissure?what are my chances? she was wearing panties and I was lying on bed with my butt facing up. What are my odds? I had no external piles nor broken skin outside anus. I am  afraid I had an anal fissure. In case of an anal fissure I would be in risk of exposure to HIV right?
I went to medhelp.org and experts such as Teak and Rainlover71 stated that at no time was I at risk of contracting HIV, also stating that “HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.”
I told them again that the massage was long, more than 30 minutes and I asked them the following:
“The thing is that the massage was for more than 30 minutes, hence my HIV concerns about the amount of vaginal fluid that could have possibly entered the anal fissure. Shouldn´t I be worried about the fact that the massage was for more than 30 minutes? “
“But if I had an anal fissure, an actual amount of vaginal fluids could have been passed to me, even though the masseuse was wearing panties, correct? And you guys say it does not constitute an HIV exposure??? What if it got inside my bloodstream???????”
“Should I not be worried about the amount of vaginal fluid that could have possibly entered the anal fissure????”

Two hours ago Teak warned at the thread I have opened with the following message: “Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusively negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to action by MedHelp. Conclusively negative results or a no-risk situation will be based upon the criteria established by MedHelp’s doctors...”

Doctor, should not I be worried? Does the fact that she was wearing panties make things better for me and less unlikely to contract the virus or it has no influence on the outcome?
How can Teak and some other experts have such a level of certainty on their assessment of my possible exposure? Do you share their opinion Doctor? Should not I be worried that possibly an actual amount of vaginal fluid could have been passed to an anal fissure??? They told me I don´t need to do the HIV 28 day DUO test. What would you say Doctor?
Thank you so much for clarifying me on this issue and I am so sorry for not being able to be more concise

Welcome to the Forum.  I'll try to help by expanding slightly on what you've already heard from Teak, Rainlover and others on the HIV Prevention Community site. As they note, the "exposure" you describe was no risk whatsoever for HIV transmission- none at all. There has never been a case of HIV transmitted in the context of massage or mutual masturbation despite the facts that it is common for persons engaged in such activities to get each other’s' genital secretions on one another.  This is the case even with sores, cuts and hemorrhoids in place.  Duration makes no difference either.   Further, HIV is not transmitted through clothing (i.e. underwear) no matter how wet that underwear gets with genital secretions.

This was a no risk event for which there is no indication for testing at all.

I hope this comment and confirmation of what was said on the HIV Prevention Community site is helpful.  EWH

Doctor Edward W. Hook,

Thank you so so much for clarifying me on this issue. I was so worried that I did not pay attention to what the experts on the HIV prevention community have said. You have definitely been truly helpful.
