Swallowed vaginal fluid of sex worker, paranoiac of getting HIV. HELP !
Hello,
I was having a vaginal sex with a 23yo female and wearing a condom, I am circumcised straight male. At some point, I put lubricant with my hand on the condom on which there was a vaginal fluid. Stupidly, with those wet hands I hold and light up a cigarette and that was the moment I noticed the wetness on the cigarette filter which was already in my mouth. Presumably, it contains both lubricant and vaginal fluid which contacted inside of my mouth and got swallowed.
What is the likelihood of getting HIV through this action, do you think should I get tested or am I being so paranoiac here ? Thank you.
Best Regards,

No, not stupidly because HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also inactivated instantly in saliva so only sex risks are penetrating anal or vaginal that are unprotected. .
Oral sex isn't even a risk because of the double inactivation above.
You had zero HIV risk but I can't say the same for the smoking, which you should be concerned about instead. A cigarette smoked today can stay latent in your system for up to 30 years then activate and give you cancer. FYI, Quit smoking asap if you can then wait 30 years and you are in the clear.
