Hi
This is my first time on here.
I had a one night stand with a woman I didn't know we had a lot of playing around but there was no oral, I was rubbing on her vagina with my fingers and then we had sex I used a condom and it didn't last very long and condom did not break.
I did not wash afterwards and I noticed a small cut on my finger of the hand from a few hours before. On the hand i was rubbing her with.
For the last month I have had red sore bumps in armpits and they come and go.
Or it could be lymph nodes I guess.
I went to the Dr. And he ran test for hep. And HIV and test was negative at a little over 8 weeks. 
Do I need to worry and have another test done or what are your thoughts?
Thanks.

At no time did you have an exposure.

Chance,

You did the right thing and used a condom for intercourse.

You're worrying needlessly over the fingering. Fingering, regardless of cuts, hangnails, bitten fingernails or whatever, is NOT a risk for hiv infection. Not one person has ever been infected through fingering and you will not be the first.

You tested hiv negative because you did not have a risk. Your test result is conclusive and you do not need further testing at this time.

When there has actually been a risk (you did NOT have a risk) the window period for a conclusive negative result is three months. The vast majority of people who have actually been infected will seroconvert and test positive by six weeks, with the average time to seroconversion being only 22 days. A six week negative must be confirmed at the three month point (where there has actually been a risk - you did NOT have a risk), but is highly unlikely to change.

If you feel unwell or are worried about bumps on your body, see a doctor. Whatever is going on has NOTHING to do with hiv - you do not have hiv. You have conclusively ruled hiv out of the picture.

Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:

You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together.

To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.

Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.

ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED FURTHER TESTING AT THIS TIME, anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.

Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!
