HIV exposure
On Nov 14th I was with this school teacher, I traveled about 2 hours to be with her, that morning I shaved and cut a little razor bump, when we had sex the condom did not cover the razor bump that was cut, I started to get a sore that I noticed on the 20th of Nov, the doctor thinks it might be herpes but wants me to test to be sure, however im concerned about my HIV risk, she sent me her test results that were completed on the 20th of Nov and it its HIV was non reactive but for some reason I am still worried, if herpes was able to get to me maybe HIV was also able to, also I have been having a pain under my arm and a sore throat that comes and goes, am I at risk for HIV? The anxiety is killing me
Thank you
Thank you
Only the head needs protection so you don't need to test. Herpes can't make an HIV risk when no HIV risk exists.

So even if her fluids got on the cut on my penis ?
Reread about the head because that is all you need to know. It is a fragile virus, not like a cold virus that you can catch from contact on your lips, nose or eye fluids.
