Sacrred, need help on protected short Vaginal exposure

Dear Doctor and Experts,

I have read many threads but still unable to get over anxiety. I need help nd advice. I will describe the situation shortly.

I went to massage place in korea on Mar 09. I am unable to sleep till then. Due to language gap, there was difference in understanding. I assumed it as massage. The service provder girl applied body wash and she was rubbing me with her naked body. It felt awkward and nervous. I think her private area did not come to contact with my penis. It seems safe so far. She cleaned me at all the places. She also took bath. She looked clean and could not notice any rashes. But i did not check her private area in detail as it was covered with little pubic hair.

After this i lay down on bed expecting massage. But she put condom to my penis and made it errect. The condom covered the penis entirely. The light was very dim and i was expecting massage, I was confused. She applied oil stuff (I realized it was lubricant later) to her vagina. Before i realized she came on top and inserted to her vagina.  She moved up and down for 5-6 times and I asked her stop immediately. I was very nerves and still i observed condom when she removed. It was intact, but some portion of penis base was open. She removed the condom. But i noticed the penis base was wet with either Lubricant or veginal fluid. (although it was unlikely she was dripping wet within such short time). I immediately (within 10seconds after contact) went and washed my penis using water and bodywash in the shower. Am I at risk any STDs including HIV?

1. I had no rash or cuts at my penis base at the time of exposure. The condom coverned 75% of penis after removal from Vagina. But my penile tip was swolen due to HSV (my wife had HSV and i too got it recently, HSV is not an issue for me). I had taken medicine for HSV 2 weeks ago. What are risks involved for HIV transmission in this case
2. I read some STDs can transmit skin to skin contact. What are the other STDs such as Syphilis, HPV. It is been 10 days now, I do not notice any symptoms of STDs.

But i am unable to getover for fact that, i was cheated due to language gap. My instict told me it was safe, but slowly the devil inside me is taking over. I need your advice on the risks and if I need STD testing. Although the HIV prevelance is low in Korea, I am really scarred and unable to sleep. I have developed phobia and even i don't like to visit barber shop.  I called some helpline, they said I am not at risk, but still better to test after 90 days. I need help....eagerly waiting for your response.

Sincere thanks for your reply. I reread transmission many times, I understand Tranmission occur through foreskin, inner foreskin and uretra (Meatus in general). I my case Meatus was covered.  So far everything seems to be fine.

But some how i cannot get out of this. I am highly stressed and eating less. I am observing symtoms as it is 21s day today. Last two days, i noticed my head was sweat in the early morning. I woke up from sleep. No other part of body was sweat. I normally sweat a lot even for slight higher temperatures. I observed i am sweating when i took Hot water bath last two days. Also I still use winter bed spread. Spring is just starting.

1. Scared because i observed sweat on my head while sleep. I do not experience fever or noticeable chills.

2. I read stress can cause such sweats. Or it could due to warm winter bed spread i still use.

I am in strange situation. I need some reassurance at least to reduce my stress. Please help as i am scared to sleep as i might get sweat today as well. I am sorry i am paranoid may be. I thank a ton for your time spent on this query.

Dear Teak,

Thank you for being so considerate to answer many questions from scarred people like me. I can't thank this forum enough.

But i wanted draw your attention about exposure to penis base. Will HIV be still able to infect at Penis Base. I am worried because one Helpline member told me to take test. Even after reading so much in internet, I don't know why I am scarred. I will not waste your time. Kindly clariy the above specific exposure.

Also I read HIV can be "absorbed" by mucous membrane of penis. If so which part of penis is very susceptible?

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
