Masturbation, HIV, Testing
I haven't posted since early June. I need some final advice.
I am a gay man in a monogamous relationship, but cheated 3 months ago. Here are the two things that happened:
1) I was in a steamroom, and the man next to me began masturbating (asked me if I was interested in a hot bottom, which I wasn't), and then reached over and touched my uncircumsized penis (which was a little erect) for a few seconds. He may have had precum on his hands. Any risk?
2) I was getting a massage and the male masseus rubbed his penis with precum on my hand, and then masturbated himself getting two spots of semen on my chest. Any risk?
3) I got a HIV DNA test at 7 week (negative), and several HIV antibody tests out to 12 weeks (negative). Are these conclusive that I don't have HIV, or do I need more testing to 6 months?
4) I got a syphillis and Hep B/C test, negative at 3 weeks; and clymadia/gonoreah test at 3 weeks (negative). Are these conclusive?
5) I still have some ARS-like symptoms (pain in feet, small blisters about 4 on back, had some scalp irritation, have night sweats from neck). Are these unrelated to HIV or STDs based on what I did 3 months ago?
6) Most important: Can I resume sexual relations with my partner without worry of HIV or STDs at this time?
I appreciate your answers. Thanks for all you do.
