HIV Risk, Fingering with Precum
« on: September 16, 2024, 08:12:17 am »
Hello.

I met a guy. He gave me a blowjob and masturbated my penis. We also kissed. He didnt ejaculate, but he had precum dropping out of his penis. At the end he masturbated my dick and wanted to jerk me off. Therefore he inserted one of his fingers in my anus and jerked my dick. Very short time.
We also cuddled naked and his dick (precum on it) touched my anus (outside). He never penetrated  me with his penis. Im scared because of his precum. Maybe he touched his penis sometimes and maybe some precum was at his finger which he inserted in my anus.

Sometimes I have traces of blood at my toilet paper.

So my question is, if he had precum on his finger which he inserted in my anus, is this a risk for HIV?

Some health-hotlines say it is, others say its not, because of the small amount of fluid, which is not enough for infection or even getting on the tissues.
Im very confused and afraid.
The guy said he is negative and last tested in June, with no sexual contact since our meet-up.

1) Did I have a Risk? And if „not“ why?
2) Should I test because of this event? My last test was in July, which was negative.

It's irrelevant what he claims and even if he tested on the day you met it would mean nothing for several reasons including the testing window period.

I read your post very carefully three times. You had no HIV risk from the activities mentioned here, zero.

Yeah, I suppose it's one of the barriers to this concern, the innate immune system is relatively good at stopping HIV, I know that sounds odd but it's true and HIV again relatively speaking, isn't very infectious compared to other STIs and even when conditions are perfect for it like during intercourse it still requires quantity to infect.

A bigger issue to your concerns is that it's exposed outside the confines of the human body and unlike some other infections HIV is fragile and the receptors needed to infect corrode leaving it unable to infect, The, point is it's not an HIV risk, nobody has ever acquired HIV from being fingered and you will not be the worlds first.

In brief, your adult HIV risks are:

* Condomless intercourse & a minute (theoretical) HIV risk if you give a blowjob.
* Sharing drugs rigs (Syringes)
* Blood products/ transfusions (Rare nowadays in most nations thanks to screening)

That's it.

Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV and get vaccinated against HPV, Hepatitis A & B.

Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.

Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.

Kind regards

Jim

Ok…
If it is so simple, weird some Health-Lines make so shocking statements.
So I do not have to run a test, i believe you.

Unfortunately, I meet plenty of healthcare providers and support staff who are simply outdated, or as policy stick to CYA (Cover your ass) so everything asked is an HIV risk  ::) or hold onto myths for various reasons including their hangups over sex and religious beliefs, etc.

Anyhow, you had no HIV risk from what you posted here, so no HIV testing is needed because of these activities.

There of course was plenty of risk for far easier-to-transmit STIs but no need to panic every time you have sex, just get an STI screening yearly
