Anal fissure, HIV question
Hello -
I have read a lot of threads on the subject, but like most, I feel that one aspect of my situation was different then the once previous, or I just did not find the right one,and would just like some reassurance. 5 days ago I visited a bath house, I received oral not to climax. At one point a man gently put his finger in my anus. I am sure he was masterbating at the time, and I have no idea if he had touched others at the bath house. His finger was there for only a moment and not very deep. The next day I had some discomfort in my anus which as lasted a few days, I did not notice blood immediately after or the day later, only after I probably cleaned a little to roughly was there any fluid present on toilet tissue, and it did not look like blood. I am prone to anal fissure, I can't be sure if his fingernail cut me or if there was some irritation due to a long run and chaffing, or a pre existing fissure that I had not noticed. I do not know the mans HIV status. I know the treads say that fingering is not risky, but I am concerned about the fissure and possible presence of pre cum. Should I worry. I am in committed relationship, and was there with my partner, and would not want to expose him to any thing. I test regularly, and will continue to, but some reassurance would be nice if there is any reassurance to give during the window period. Thank you for your advise.

Thank you Teak. That is what I have hoping to see. I was just worried about the presence of the fissure in the situation.
