worried..please help
Hi Doctor,
This is my second post in this forum after 2 years. I never thought I will come back here with this kind of question again.
I have been to a massage parlor on saturday and met 2 women whom i performed vaginal fingering bare hand for about 10-15 mins each .I felt like something wierd in 1 women's vagina ans she said it is piercing but i felt 1 or 2 more that were little deeper im her vagina.Later i couldnt resist and went to a CSW whom i fingered bare hand and received oral with condom may be 2 mins and didn't change condom for vaginal intercourse for about 5 mins. I am sure condom didn't break.I cleaned my penis with alcohol swab after condom was removed.
I am not a sexually active person and not into drugs anything but infected with hbv probably since birth came across it in general checkup.
Starting next Thursday (5days) I had sore throat and running rose which felt like irritation and felt very mild fever on and off. Sore throat has gone in 1 day but I still have cold and fever 98-99f on and off.no rashes and no body pains and energy levels and appetite are also good.
I examined my fingers after 2days of these event, I dont see any cuts or anything?
1) Do I have any risk in these 3 events?
2) is testing required in this case?
3) is it possible for ars symptoms to start in 5-6 days?
4) could the fingering sores in vagina mentioned above increqse the possible risk?
5) would do you think it could be looking at the symptoms and time frame any sti?

Thanks for the response Doctor.
I am planning to take a test in 4 weeks from the incident just to confirm.

Welcome back to the forum.
These exposures carried no risk for HIV, which is never transmitted sexually except by unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse, not by fingering, kissing, hand-genital contact. Oral sex also carries little or no risk, even without a condom. Without a bare penis (no condom) inside another person's vagina or rectum, you will never catch HIV.
Your description of "something" that was "piercing" (maybe you mean sharp feeling?) in your partner's vagina suggests she has an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception; I suspect you were feeling the IUD's plastic string.
To your specific questions:
1,4) There was no risk for HIV from these events, even if one or more of your partners had HIV -- and it is unlikely they did.
2) You don't need testing after these sorts of exposures.
3) No, ARS symptoms cannot start sooner than 8-10 days after exposure. And your symptoms don't sound like ARS anyway. ARS doesn't cause runny or stuffy nose. You caught a cold, that's all.
5) These symptoms also are not suggestive of any other STD, and with only fingering and condom-protected oral sex, you aren't at risk for STDs.
So no worries, all is well. I hope this information is helpful for you.
