HIV Risk
Hello, I'm 21 years old am a virgin. I have been to a few strip clubs in the past couple of months and got nude lap dances where the dancer puts their genitals on me and near my face. I have had my pants on every time so there was no direct contact. I have a sore throats and am worried it may be HIV. I did not have any sex or kissing but I am very worried for some reason. Someone please help me achieve peace of mind!
Only sex risks are penetrating unprotected vaginal or anal so you were a long way from a risk. Even oral or kissing are not a risk because HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also instantly in saliva.
You are free from HIV. Everyone gets sore throats and I get one every few months, so that throat proves nothing.
