hiv risk?
i had a mutual masturbation session with another guy (gay). i like mutual masturbation because it's safe and enjoyable... but the guy ejaculated on my body and some of it actually dripped onto my penis and scrotum while i was masturbating. so some of his semen mixed with the lubrication we were using while i was masturbating. is this an hiv risk? i know the hiv can get in through the urethra right?
i was under the impression that hiv isnt transmitted through non-penetrative sex because the virus needs to be directly introduced into the body. but im worried some of his semen might have gotten into my urethra when it got on my penis

Yes, transmission takes place inside.
You can dump a bucket of seman on you it will not result in transmission.

how does hiv transmission happen thru the urethra then? Only when the penis is inside the vagina/anus?
So it's safe for me to come into contact with potentially hiv-positive semen as long as it's outside the body?

Yes that is true, but HIV is fragile so once outside of the body it is deactivaed for several reasons.
sorry, im a bit confused. I thought getting foreign bodily fluids in the urethra was a primary means of transmission for males?
Your thinking are not facts and the fact is as you have been advised, HIV does not stay active outside its host and is unable to infect.
ok, thanks. im still worried because it was only a duration of a few seconds from the point that he ejaculated and i had it on my penis (and possibly in my urethra), and i don't think hiv 'dies' that quickly outside of the body
HIV does not 'survive' outside the body. You had no risk.
is it not a risk if his semen came in contact with my penis? can't it get in through the urethra that way?
HIV is not transmitted by masturbation.
