How did I get back here?

Yesterday I had an incident with a guy i know.  My exposure was I attempted to top without condom. I use the word attempt because I do not know if I actually penatreded him or not. I know for a fact it was not fully penatreion or if I can call it dipping. The event lasted about 7 min 10 mins top, and thoughtout the whole event I was trying to penetrate him. I am not sure if the tip of my penis actually did get thur, I am fully aware that my penis did push up against his anus and possible entered him but I can't say that with confident. I then went to go get a condom, thinking the lube on the condom would offer some help in penetration however it didn't even with the condom on I still could not get my penis inside of him, ( the head of my penis is slighter large). I decided to give up trying and went to sleep. When I woke up I could belive what I had done( I had a few drinks pior to exposur). I quickly ask him if I had indeed penatreaded him, his response was I don't think so and if the same breath he then said no. I have top before without a condom and I can say I didn't feel the same feeling which give more proof that penatrion did not not ocurr. Pls list my risk. I also did rim him briefly. I was denied PeP should I try and go to another hospital <24 hours ago?

From what you say Its unlikely you had unprotected sex, as you tend you know what it feels like and he would certainly know.

Even if you did dip, the chances of getting HIV from it, is very remote. To say all your nodes are up, well you will always feel them, if they are then visit your doctor and see what he says, I bet you he will not be concerned.

Personally I think your over reacting but if your concerned enough, ie that really think you did, then test at 6 weeks for a good indication of your status and then 12 weeks for conclusive results

Also chances of hiv through one time exposure are very less...and in any case ARS symptoms dont occus so early..i can say this for sure..
For your peace of mind ,you can get your friend tested..but that would be actually meaningless..because he may show negative (but may be in the window period)..But yes his negative results for now would give you a great peace of mind..
Go for a 4th generation test post 4 weeks exposure...and u will be all fine with ur life(negative results)....Relax ,you wont have hiv..

Expert do this sound like ARS?
No fever( a little warm but no actually fever)
No sore thort despite smoking about 3 packs of cigarettes
Dr, HHH started in a old post that swollen lymph nodes are never the only symptom of ARS. Please respond experts

Sure you can but it would not be related to HIV.

And the Dr's forums have not been given a time table for reopening.

PEP is normally reserved for someone who had a known risk...unprotected sex with someone confirmed to be HIV+
