HIV and underwear

[Maxime77]

Hello.

I had sex with a girl 2 days ago and would like to know If I'm at risk of HIV and if I should get tested.

Here what happened in order:
- I received unprotected blowjob
- Protected penetration, after that I notice she was bleeding, there was lot of blood on the condom, so I remove the condom carefully and correctly, no blood on my penis. She went to wash her vagina. (She didn't understand why she bleed, she said it was not her period)
- Now this is the moment that worry me:
She came back naked, I was wearing my cotton black underwear. And she was rubbing (frottage) her vagina against my penis, after that I noticed on the outside of the underwear lot of vagina fluid (white strain), and in the inside (penis side) a little white strain which is either my precum or her vagina fluid that went through the underwear.
I'm worry that her vagina fluid went through the underwear to touch my glans and/or the underwear soaked by the vagina fluid touch the glans.
I didn't see any blood (the underwear was black) and soon after that I finger her and there was no blood also in my fingers.

Should I worry about that for HIV? Should I get tested?

Thank you in advance.

Hiya,

Your assessment in short would be, Move on with your life.

The longer version is that HIV can't transmit through an intact latex or polyurethane condom. Unless a condom obviously fails during intercourse, there is no reason to be stressing or testing for HIV outside of the standard yearly routine.

As for receiving a blowjob, it lacks the conditions required for acquiring HIV, thus it makes sense that after nearly 40 years of this pandemic in terms of BJ's, there hasn't been a single documented case of HIV transmission to an insertive partner (the person being "sucked"), and you will not be the worlds first.

The same can be said for frottage, fluids in your underwear, contact with vaginal fluids after they are exposed outside the body or contact with fluids when removing the condom.

Here's what you need to know:
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

Keep in mind that some sexual practices which may be described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV might still pose a risk for other 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, and the only way of knowing is by testing.

Kind regards

Jim

Thank you for your answer.
What about if my underwear that was soaked by the vaginal fluid touched my urethra? Isn't this a risk? I read on Internet Doctors say Vaginal fluid going in the urethra even if it's not during a penetration is theorically a risk.

Thank you in advance.

Deep inside the vaginal tract, near the cervix entry, there are several fluids that during condomless intercourse could contain HIV leading to infection. The lubricating fluid from the Bartholin's gland that you seem to be concerned about isn't HIV infectious, it contains no more HIV than saliva or tears and they are also are not a source of HIV infection.

Not that this matters as HIV has extremely fragile receptors and is sexually only acquired inside the confines of the human body, as in never exposed outside the body like during intercourse.

You had no HIV risk from some vaginal fluids in your underwear touching your penis.
Move on with your life.

Thank you very much for this explanation I didn't know that. I'm relieved now
