You can tell who has NOT been through ARS - people who were not exposed to HIV cannot go through ARS. You have been advised of the risks, and have listed them yourself. There is no need to ask about other no-risk events.

Thanks for the response @curfew....my experience has been overwhelming. Im pretty sure I went through ars...I even have the unexplained weight loss and swollen axillary lymph node to show for it. The scary tging is that I am in a country with a high rate. I am hoping that my actions didn't prolong the virus on my hands. I read that once it leaves the body it can no longer reproduce/transmit. Does that mean it can't infect a new person? I was ill at the time n had possible inflamation. Im also circumsized. So many different variables at play. I wish I had just kept the condom on and finished. Ive never felt like this before.
Is it possible that I got another virus such as CMV? This mimics HIV infection but how is that possible if my immune system isn't damaged?
Isn't there a risk once you are in contact with a bodily fluid during sexual activity. If bodily fluid touches foreskin or penis head/urethra then that should be a risk. The virus can live for sometime outside the body but can't infect a new host? It can also live on damp surface such as a wet hand? Why can't anyone give a definite answer regarding transmission. Some say no risk, others say risk
These are the confirmed ways that HIV can be transmitted?
Unprotected anal or vaginal sexual intercourse (Penis in the vagina)
Mother to child (during childbirth or breast feeding)
Needles (Injecting Drugs etc)
Oral sex (Negligible)
Protected oral sex is not a risk for HIV.
Fingering is not a risk for HIV.
You NEVER HAD a risk for HIV.
See your doctor about your symptoms because they have absolutely nothing to do with HIV.
Getting educated about HIV will help you tremendously with your anxiety.
