Help, pre-cum before protected sex?
« on: March 02, 2013, 01:39:06 pm »
Three weeks ago I met another man for gay sex. Before he put his condom on he pressed his penis against my anus briefly and then put his condom on and tried to enter me. I don't think he did but he might have gotten in a little bit. My fear is that there may have been pre cum on his penis and he put it on me and it may have been pushed in when he entered me. I've been in contact with him and he was tested was in December three weeks after his last encounter and he tells me he tested two days ago and was negative but I can only trust myself right now. How much of a risk do I have?

Not an HIV concern. HIV is transmitted by unprotected penetrative anal or vaginal sex. Once HIV is exposed to air, ph change and or temperature change the virus becomes unable to infect.

Yes , even in a matter of seconds . HIV is really a quite fragile virus and you need not worry about having an exposure in the manner you are concerned about .
