Anal Fingering and HIV

I was anally fingered by an unknow status man through a glory hole inside an adult book store. I lasted about 3-5 minutes. I'm soo ashamed and regret it every moment!!! I'm so afraid of having HIV because of this activity. I do not know if he had open cuts or cum in his fingers. I'm so worried. This happened about 6 weeks ago.  I took a HIV test at 2 weeks and it was negative. Now at the 6 weeks mark I'm starting to have a sore throat (I can see the back of my throat inflamed). I had a canker sore two weeks after, lasted about a week. And now also I have another one smaller. Please someone help me. I have lost weight about 12 lbs, hopefully not related. I have been very axious, depressed and stressed out. There's time when I only sweat cold sweat from thinking about it! Is this normal? I have not had any fevers, stable body temp.

See your dentist if you are concerned. You do not have an HIV concern, you never had an exposure.

3 months are conclusive right? I'm at 2 months right now, just one more to go. Going through the ups and downs. Girlfriend thinking about marriage, I want to move on and join her in thinking the same way. Can anxiety play similar symptoms such as rapid weight loss, back pain, and canker sores? Please answer. Thank you for helping everyone.

I'm taking your word and trusting that this is a NO NO HIV case. Just one more month to go through.

Teak could you please answer? And perhaps reassurance from a few who have gone through what I am going and have tested negative. My possible exposure happened the 18th of April - how do I count 3 months, by days or weeks? When should I go test?

No risk. Now who is going to finger you with a bleeding finger and who is going to let themselves be figered by someone that is bleeding? Those are irrational thoughts.

What could be causing my weight loss...anxiety? So no risk from from fingering even if he was bleeding and so was I? What if he shoved cum into my rectum?

You never had an exposure. HIV is not transmitted by fingering.
