Did I have a real risk

Dears,

I shaved my pubic hair (dry razor) INCLUDING SHAFT hair and 2 HOURS later had 3 protected vaginal sex exposures with a sex worker. I am sure my shaft was inside her (The part not covered by the condom).

Did the penis shaft dry shave increase my risk (I don't remember I had nicks or cuts...) ?

I'm really freaking out about my exposure. Do I require testing after 3 month or it is just fine.

Thank you so much for the clarification.

You really calmed me down.

I will move on and forget about this exposure.

Best Regards,

You had a condom on. Protected sex is safe sex. Now my previous answer was about the "shaft" question. There is no risk from this. Keep calm

I didn't understand the last part no penetration no risk

Doesn't the shaved penis shaft inside the vagina classify as penetration ?

Or you only meant the head of the penis ?

Thank you for your help

Protected sex is what the word says : PROTECTED

As for your second question , NO penetration means NO risk.

one more thing that I would like to add:

so HIV cannot pass through the shaved skin of the penis shaft even if it was exposed in the vagina?

Thank you so much for the calming reply.

You really reliefed my anxiety !

So testing is not warranted for this specific exposure (even if we assume she was HIV+) ?
