I have read a lot on the internet and the FAQs here but I have not seen this question addressed.
2 guys and 1 girl having sex.
1 guy is HIV positive
HIV positive guy has unprotected vaginal sex and ejaculates into her.
Right after the first guy, the second guy has unprotected vaginal sex with the same girl and ejaculates into her.
Is the second guy at a high risk of contracting HIV?
Should he test?
Can the virus, from semen, get into your bloodstream through your pee hole only?

tim,
Anyone who has unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse is putting themselves at risk for hiv and other sexually transmitted infections. And yes, a person who has unprotected intercourse should test.
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 STIs together. To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with a sexually transmitted infection. Sex with 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.
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.
