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

Hi Pedro
You really really do not need to worry about this. There is absolutely no risk at all of this resulting in HIV infection.
If you remain as worried as you seem to be now - then the answer is to do an HIV DUO test - which combines HIV 1 and 2 and p24 - at 28 days - this will be negative.
I DO NOT think you need an HIV test - I am certain you are fine.
very best wishes, Sean
