HIV exposure
I am 25 year old male and I had protected top anal sex and unprotected oral sex with a trans sex worker, however there was points where I got soft and removed the condom and rubbed around the anus area but didn’t penetrate with out a condom. What are the chances of getting hiv through rubbing if there is any at all and would this considered to be risky enough to start a pep treatment since it has only happened 18 hours ago. i do not know the hiv status of the other person

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.
Sexually, HIV is only transmitted via unprotected penetration. You didn't have an HIV risk, so PEP is not warranted.
