Doctor -
Thank you for your quick response. Understood, and very much appreciated. It helps, and confirms what I thought. I think I'll rest fine - and I'll just get tested when I go in for my semi-annual physical in a few months.
Thanks.
Welcome to the forum.
I'm sure you do in fact know the answer to your question. You are at no risk of HIV from the exposures to your former partner, despite his HIV infection. Kissing is not a significant transmission risk, and HIV has never been known to be transmitted by hand-genital contact. I agree there is no need to inform your current partner of this event -- you do not need to mention interpersonal exposures that carried no risk of HIV or other STDs.
Personally, I wouldn't even be HIV tested on account of this event. However, I can understand that many persons would feel the need for the additional reassurance, beyond and expert's opinion, that would come from a negative test result. If that applies to you, then have another HIV test in a few weeks. (You could have a 100% reliable duo/combo test 4 weeks after the last contact with your former partner, or 6-8 weeks for a stand alone antibody test.) But in the meantime, if I were in your situation I would continue unprotected sex with my wife and would say nothing to her about any of this.
I hope this helps. Best wishes-- HHH, MD
