Dr. Jose - reassuring please....

Dr. Jose, good morning. It’s me again, Pedro.

I’m really sorry to coming back to you again with the same question you’ve already replied to me. However, I’m still a bit nervous (actually, I scared!) about the encounter I had 18 days ago.
When you say to me I do not need any testing or need to be worried about what happened to me it means that I did not have any risk at all of getting infected? As I said, I am a married man and not testing can implies a lot of things….
I do understand that fingering without a condom and having been penetrated by a vibrator covered by a condom are both very low risk situations. The only meaningful risk situation I would have would be if the girl had large amounts of blood streaming out from an open wound.
But in that situation, blood streaming out from an open wound would be something visible to me? I meant, it would be possible to me to see such amount of blood pouring out from her finger? It would be something like someone cutting his finger with a piece of glass or a knife where blood will be pouring out?
Also, for the penetration process she used oil to lubrificate my anus. It would be possible having any infected fluid mixed with the oil capable to infect me?
I can remember she handling the condom, the vibrator, even touching myself but I cannot remember any sign of blood at all. After she fixed the belt over her waste and vibrator on it too I did not notice any bleeding process nor blood from her fingers. When the penetration over, I looked at the vibrator and there were no blood there either. I just notice my bleeding around 25 mins later at home.
It has been 18 days since then and everyday I take my temperature every hour to see if I have any fever. Besides that, I am always looking to my body looking for any rash, redness, etc…
I am trying to rationalize that but it’s been too difficult. Could you please reassure me with your opinion about what I went through?
Best regards,
Pedro

Dear Pedro,

You really really do not need to worry about this. There is absolutely no risk at all of this resulting in HIV infection.

No more on this from us Pedro,

best wishes, Sean

Dr. Sean, its me again Pedro. I did a HIV Duo test (HIV 1/2 and p24) after 13 days of my exposure. The results just came out today with a negative. I know you've said to me to do the test at 28 days but I was wondering whether this result could indicate anything...At 13 days post exposure day the test would be able to pick up anything? I will do the test again at 28 days but just thinking whether or not this would be a good sign....Best regards, Paulo

Thank you once more. It is enough to me. As I said, please, sorry my anxiety.

The HIV Duo test is the Elisa 4th generation?

Best regards,
Paulo

Dr. Seam, I really appreciate if you could answering my last post above.
For me it is crystal clear all of you said but it will become 100% clear after getting your final comments.
I know it is repetitive for you, who is a doctor, but remember I am not doctor and I don't have the same knowledge of you have.
Please do not leave me without these comments as they will have an important role in my piece of mind going forward.
Kind regards,
Paulo

Dr. Seam, thank you.
Just to see if you understand correct what I went through: the csw fingered my anus (I did not see whether or not she had fresh cut/bleeding/open wounds on her fingers), she also penetrated my anus with a vibrator covered by a condom. Besides these 2 things there were nothing else related to sexual activities.
Given that and from what you are saying I have nothing to worry about getting infected because everything we've done was free of any HIV risk. Is that correct?
I will follow your advice of getting tested by HIV Duo test if my anxiey remains high.
Kind regards, Paulo
