Really want to move on

Hi All.

Reading through the posts I know that I have nothing to worry about but am not able to completely get over my worries.

I have repeatedly visited strip clubs for a period of 10 years from 2000 to 2010. On many occasions I spent a lot of time getting dances from the dancers. I was always completed dressed during these dances, sometimes shorts and mostly trousers. I have gone through episodes of paranoia before regarding HIV as well. I ejaculated inside my pants many times as well. The questionable behavior apart from those dances was kissing on dancers lips, was too afraid to really do deep kissing an mostly I would avoid any dancer that tried to kiss and if I liked someone I would just kiss them but with my lips not wide open. Occasionally I would touch a dancers vagina but not sure if I ever put them inside for the same fears I mentioned above.

I have been making an attempt to turn my life and have stopped going to strip clubs since July 2010 except for one time in December 2010 and even that time got out within 10 minutes.

I never drank alcohol on my life. So I am fairly confident that I did not engage in anything other than what I mentioned. My concerns mostly include getting exposed to any infected fluids to any cuts on fingers, to an old decayed tooth and acne or shaving cuts on my chin.

I am really making an effort to move on in life. I am married and me and my wife are having a baby.

Can someone re-assure me whether I should be concerned about anything?

Please note that some of the dancers were nude and some had their underwear on but I was always clothed.

Thanks

No. No testing warranted.

Thanks Teak and Ricki. Based on these occurrences alone, do you recommend testing.

You had no risk because HIV virus immediately becomes inactive/uninfectious if it comes to contact with the air. Oral activities also don't transmit HIV.
