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!
transmission REQUIRES penetration.
you had NO risk and do NOT need testing ! ! !
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.
Thanks for your answer, Teak! I can carry on with my day again :)
Good luck with the other member questions.
You never had an exposure for HIV.
