HIV and maybe a Hep C risk?
Hello doctors, just wanted you to assess the risk of my situation last night. I am a male and i was sleeping in my hotel room and my male coworker (im 20 he is 50) decided to massage me after i came back from the bar drunk. i was just wearing underpants in my bed and he slipped them off me and straddled my butt and started to massage my back and arms with lotion. i was naked but he never massaged my butt besides when he took my underpants off. However i am concered because he was NOT wearing pants or underwear while massaging me and since he was straddling my butt i think i could feel his penis touching my *** and it may have touched my *** crack (i believe he was flacid) but he never tried to penetrate me or anything. this only lasted about two minutes because i did not want it to occur and i turned around and pushed him off me. i am also a little concered because i had shaved my butt around 35 hours prior but did not notice any bleeding or anything. he also kissed me on the lips once
was any of this, the penis touching my ***, the kiss, or the massage a concern for hiv or hepatitis c? thanks

Replies on the professionaly moderated forums are within 24 hours -- in this case, it was only about 4 hours after you posted your question. And that slight delay was the direct result of your insistent follow-up messages. Multiple comments after the initial question make it look like there has already been a response, and for a few hours both Dr. Hook and I thought the other had replied. (This is probably the same reason that you didn't realize until 15 minutes ago that I had replied 9 hours ago!)

Welcome to the forum.
Teak is correct in his responses below. HIV is not transmitted sexually without penetration of a bare penis (no condom) into another person's vagina or rectum (and maybe mouth, very rarely). The superficial contacts you describe are risk-free, even if your partner had HIV.
As for the hepatitis C virus (HCV), the only proved sexual transmission scenario involves traumatic (i.e., potentially bloody) sexual practices among men having sex with men -- and even then, sexual transmission appears to be rare unless one of the men has HIV. As for HIV, the relatively superficial exposures you describe carry no risk for HCV.
Therefore, from a medical/risk perspective, you don't need testing for either virus. But if you need the additional reassurance of a negative test result, feel free to visit an STD clinic or other expert provider and request testing for HIV. (But not HCV -- a waste of money.) If you decide to do it, you definitely can count on a negative test result.

please?? sorry jyst anxious
Thanks for the info teak, but can i please also get a response from one of the doctors?
Not an HIV concern. 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

and sorry to comment so much doctors but one final thing i wanted to add was that at some point i think he did touch my penis with his hand if that changes anything
my butt crack*
also, in my original post it blurred out what i wrote with "***" i had written another word for butt, so i was saying his penis touched my butt and maybe butt crack
also should i get tested?

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
