Can you get hiv from vaginal fluid if it goes through your pants?
Hi, my friend dragged me into a strip club. Strippers came over and one of them gave me a lapdance. I came in my pants, and I think she was also wet with vaginal fluid. If her fluids went through my pants, can she spread hiv (or other stds) to me, because she was grinding me really hard. I've been paranoid all night. Please help!

The fact is that no one gets infected with fluids outside of the body. Sure, maybe it "survives" for a couple of minutes, but it's not infectious that way. The proof is that no one has been infected this way, ever. Infectious fluid transmission happens INSIDE the body only - when a penis is inside a vagina or anus unprotected.

I'm also uncircumsized. Isn't the inner foreskin permeable to HIV?
NO one has been infected in this manner, ever. That includes uncircumsized individuals
You had no risk and a test would be a waste of time.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV. No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.

But I read that hiv can survive for 2-3 minutes in exposure to air.
You don't have any medical training so you took whatever you Googled out of context. Reread about the 3 and 40.
