Odds of getting hiv
i was with a massage Lady and we did unprotected body to body sex i was lying on my back and she was on top of me rubbing her vagina with my penis for two or three minutes. she was wet but i think not with vaginal fluids but with massage oil, I have seen here that it's not risky but the problem is that i had shaved my public area and i had some cuts now this makes me worry. The moment i realized it's risky panic attacks started and all the symptoms were like of ARS, i am a married man and living in another country but I will be visiting My home country in week or so, now i am should i have sex with my wife or wait for some time to my test. please advise what should i do

The risks have been given already but to reiterate, they are simply. The risks for HIV are to have unprotected (penetrating) vaginal or anal sex or to share IV needles to inject drugs. Those are those are the only ways that HIV is transmitted in the real world. HIV has been closely followed and documented. Air inactivates the virus and this is why secretions outside the body are not a risk for HIV. So, no need to test or worry.
Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (body, fluids, etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are only 3 ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
The word "only" presents an insurmountable roadblock to any possibility of your "what-if" questions being relevant.

Thanks alot for the answer but there are many sites which claim this is risk and here at medhelp no One consider it a risk , why other reputed sites say it's risk?
We rely on the opinion of expert doctors so do not pay attention to what posters find online or we will be arguing all day. Your idea of "many" reputable is wrong - someone's pulling your leg.
