Am I exposed to HIV?
Hi,
About 6 months back I visited a CSW and she gave me hand job, during the act she was on top of me and for brief period of 5-10secs I guess she rubbed her vagina with my penis. I am uncircumcised. Initially, I was not worried but since yesterday I see I am having oral thrush and am getting paranoid. Am I at risk? Is this related? Please help me understand

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
There isn't any other situation that you can think of that would put you at risk for HIV. Unless your unprotected penis went INSIDE her vagina, you never had a risk for HIV. See a doctor about your oral thrush. It has nothing to do with HIV or this event.
