Anal fingering HIV? Please answer.

A month ago I was fingered by a unknow guy. Could not clearly see his fingers but I did not see any cuts (I hope there weren't any). He penetrated my anus with his finger for a few minutes. I also think he wore a condom on his fingers to penetrate me. I rushed home to take a shower and rinsed my anus area thoroughly that I think I cause small abrasions - noticed very light tiny dots of blood on tissue after showering.

I'm very worried, stressed out and anxious. I have been thinking too much, I can't focus or concentrate right. I have a canker sore but can that be related to HIV? Also the inner corner of my lips feel rough and dry when I touch with my tongue - am I making too much out of it? I had loose stool today but I think it was caused by worrying too much. Please someone with good medical knowledge answer this. Am I in risk of HIV?

You really don't have to worry about this episode. You can be confident, you had no risk.

I was worry about fingering too many times. I like to do it and always feel afraid later, but it's psicological. It has nothing to do with HIV risk.

Relaxe and move on

As reallyconcerned advised you, your issue is psychological, not HIV. Continued posting on this will not be productive for anyone. You were never at risk and the answers WILL NOT change. Please refer to the posting rules at the top of the forum.

I'm trying to maintain a good outlook on this situation.  I have prayed and researched many similar posts like mine. I'm really looking forward to the last post where I notify everyone that my test result came back negative. However, it's hard when there's similar symptoms appearing all of sudden. It's been a month and half, and now I have what appears to be a sore throat and another canker sore - I hope this is nothing to worry about but it's so scary! I have been sweating cold, no fever. I think I'm still continueing to lose weight - perhaps side effect of anxiety? Just another month and half to that day - GOD help me. Has anyone gone through the same situation?  Thank you.

Did you loose weight too while the long slow waits too. Does anxiety and stress cause people to loose weight?

Can stress and anxiety cause weird things?
What if the guy lubricated his fingers with Precum?

It doesn't matter about the canker sore.Saliva renders the HIV virus inactive and unable to infect you.No need to test.

Thank you. But what about the canker sore and dry rough inner corners of the lips? When should I be tested? How reliable is that test period?

you had NO risk for contracting hiv.

transmission takes place when a PENIS...not a finger...is inside a vagina / anus.

testing is not needed.
