Painful inner vagina lips - HIV transmission?

Hi,
I (female, 25 years old) really hope someone can answer my questions:

* If a man rubs his penis on a girl's clitoris and her inner vagina lips too hard or too long can that cause a minor tear/cut in her vagina lips? If that tear/cut is not bleeding, is it a risk when it comes in contact with precum?

* If a man has precum and he presses/rubs his penis head against the entrance of the vagina without actually penetrating is there a risk?

Would you advise HIV-testing based on these scenarios? I already tested for other STD's and I for chlamydia, gonnorhea, etc. the test was negative 2 weeks post-exposure.

Thanks,
Qel

As I tried to post my comment something went wrong with my computer... sorry if there will be a double post.

@tsr58: Fortunately there was no penetration. Pfew :)

@ Vance2335: I know skin to skin contact doesn't transmit HIV but my original question was about the risk when minor tears/abrasions as a result of heavy genital rubbing come in contact with infected fluids.

@ Lizzie Lou: Wonderful.

Thanks for your answers, people!

Skin to skin contact has never and will never result in transmission for HIV no matter what.

I don't there is quite enough information here to say there is absolutely no risk of exposure. Even skin-to-skin contact can result in HIV transmission if there are any breaks or tears in the skin. Tissue such as that in the vaginal lips, anus, or even penis, can develop microscopic tears during penetration.

In answer to your second question, yes there have been documented cases where HIV has been transmitted via pre-cum. The fluid has to come in contact with an opening in your skin, which could exist in your vagina or elsewhere that it comes in contact, possibly without you even knowing that these tiny breaks in your skin exist.

Agreed, your risk is small.

However, if you are at all concerned, there is no reason not to be tested. At the very least, it will provide you a baseline date on which you know you tested negative, should you need to know this at some time in the future.
