Does herpes increase HIV risk as per below case¿
I had sex with a man, and he touched my vulva deeply with his penis without condom and almost reached to my vagina but i didnt let him, however he didnt get inside me. Is there any risk for HIV? I have Herpes also and usually its said that it carries bigger risks. But during that time i didn't have herpes outbreak.
Only penetrating vaginal or anal is a risk. No penetration = no risk, so it doesn't matter how many other factors (herpes in your case) exist because it is always zero due to the "only" roadblock in my first sentence.

Thanks, Two weeks after i started to feel flu like symptoms and urethra infection as well as dizziness, so it is related to another disease then!
Moreover, is it needed to do a HIV test for me or not!
The way you write, it's confusing. Was a penis inside your vagina without condom?
The penis was not inserted into my vagina, it was rubbing my vulva and i guess it could reach the beginning of my vagina while rubbing.
I'm sure you know the difference between penetrating your vagina, and not inserted. It is time to move on.
Most unmasked Americans got flu or Covid this winter so you should expect to catch a respiratory disease. This isn't a urethra infection or dizziness forum so see doc.
