Am I at risk for this encounter
I really need some help, I fear that I may have put myself to risk. Me and my partner were touching eachother and he was fingering me; I was very wet (sorry for the detailed description) after he was fingering me he went on top of me and i felt his penis head bump into my vaginal opening for about 1-5 seconds until I told him to stop.. I didn’t feel his penis penetrate me but I felt it touch me slightly in probably about 1/4. It did not penetrate me as I know i would have felt the pressure. I cannot stop thinking about how I probably have put myself at risk? Do I need to test? Does this place me at high risk or low risk?
from the way you describe it, to me at least , it sounds like you were penetrated, regardless of how little (please let me know if I'm misunderstanding what you said, the 1/4 makes me thing penetration) . if you were at any risk, a one time sexual encounter is low, even with a confirmed HIV positive partner, and your encounter would be very low, but not zero. its hard to transmit HIV though .If the was no penetration at all though, no risk, no need to test.

also the above from AnxiousNoMore is 100% correct. I didn't know you were already answered since I typically answer from a cell phone and it takes awhile. I only said low due to the iffy part of your penetration wording, just rubbing though, no risk.
I felt his penis head on my vaginal opening since he was on top of me, but there was no pressure from him on trying to insert; I’m so confused if there was any penetration,because I immediately stopped him in seconds....and I’m very sensitive I would have felt the penis pressuring me to get inside.. does his head and urethra opening being in contact with my vaginal opening put me at low risk? That’s the best I could describe my encounter
no penetration would be no risk. no need to test.
Sorry I’m back again, one last question what would be considered penetrative sex? Is at the edge considered penetrating ? Does he have to penetrate me certain inches and reach Near my cervix in order for me to be at risk? I keep analyzing my encounter and need some help figuring out “if the penis head lay at the entrance of my vaginal opening; without him pushing the head towards the inside” is this considered penetrating ? ? I didn’t feel the pressure of him pushing to go in; but I felt him touch,sorry just having a hard time figuring out if I should test just Incase ?
Penetration is penetration and you are the only one who can figure it out. No one here can figure what you did, so if you can't figure it out then just take the test. Seems like no penetration so I wouldn't be nervous while you wait. 4 weeks for a duo or 12 for any other.
You say he didn't penetrate, so that means you are safe. so you had no risk. An HIV test would be a waste of time.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk.

He didn’t penetrate but I felt the head of his penis push In my vaginal opening for about 2 seconds... I never felt the pressure of him penetrating me, though the tip did touch and was slightly in... this is the best I could describe the encounter... do I need to test ?
