Is there HIV in sweat?
Hi,
I visited a strip club December 4th. A stripper gave me a lap dance. While doing so, I was touching her body (did not touch her vagina) her breast were very sweaty. Afterwards, I touched my penis with the same sweaty hand that was touching her (I’m not sure if there
was a Knick or cut near the top of my penis or shaft).
Is the act described a risk of transmission for HIV? Worried that her sweat may have entered my body through an unknown cut or opening on my penis.
10 days after I developed a cold lasting 7-10 days. Not sure if it were symptoms of HIV etc. No sexual intercourse or oral.
Thank you

You already know the risks for HIV, as AnxiousNoMore has linked to your previous question and the answers provided there. Maybe you should re-evaluate whether you should visit strip clubs in the future, since you seem to freak out about HIV after visiting them. Is it really worth a few moments of pleasure for you to experience this level of irrational anxiety afterward?

I honestly wasn’t sure if sweat and the scenario itself differed from my last question. Just thought I’d ask. Definitely not worth the anxiety afterwards. Went with friends, didn’t want to, knew it would be a bad idea after what I had gone through earlier this year. But thank you for answering my question. Will move on from the incident.
Since you didn't answer the QUESTION, I'll do it for you. Answer> No there wasn't a penis in my anus during the lap dance and she didn't inject me with a hollow needle then either so I had no risk.
Ask yourself that question and answer it every time you wonder if you got hiv. hiv prevention is straightforward.
The answer to this can't change.
