my risk evaluation and do I need test?

Dear Doctors,

35 days ago I had a protected sex with a prostitıtute in France (she said her origin was Ghana). Everything was protected except
after vaginal sex, I rubbed my penis with condom on it. Then, I removed the condom
and rubbed again penis.  My worries are:

Q1-) I had a one day old  small cut (0.5mm x 0.5 mm) on my finger.
Hence, during rubbing penis when condom was on it, it is possible that vaginal fluids come into contact with the cut on finger.

Q2-) Again, since I  removed the condom and rubbed the penis, it is possible that vaginal fluids come into contact with the head of my penis (especially with the mucous area) and then passed into my body.

2 days ago I had diarrhea  and a pain in my left shoulder. Now I am good and no pain.

Q3-) Can these be sympthoms for Hiv infection? I had no fever and sore throat.

Q4-) Is my situation risky and  should I be tested?

Thanks. No more questions...Thanks for the job you are doing here.
I just asked many times  with the thought that you may be  missing some points in my expsosure which  may be possible since you are answering  many questions  at the same time.
Anyway, no more questions but a REPEADETLY  thanks again:)

You asked my opinion, you got it (twice).  Do you really think asking the same question repeatedly will change the answer?- Einstein referred to expecting different answers from this sort of repetetive questioning as a good definition of insantity.  No change in my answer. You need to relax.  EWH

Doctor E.W.Hook,

so you say even if the vaginal fluid come into contact with the mucous part of penis, it is not a risk and hence no need for test. Is this the last conclusion?
Thank you very much.

The FACT is the observational studies have clearly demonstrated that contact with genital secretions, in the context of mutual masturbation does not constitute a risk for HIV.  Your contact, if it occurred at all, was far less.

Trolling the internet is a good way to feed your anxieties. There is much good information on the net but at least as much mis-information or information provided out of context.

Thanks doctor,

In fact since cut is one day old, it was not my main concern.  The main concern is the touch of  vaginal fluid to the head of penis, especailly to  the mucous part. Why is this not a risk?
I need more scientific explanations if possible.

Also in may websites, they  tell hiv sympthoms  can be seen in 2-4 weeks and mine was in 4 weeks. That makes me worry.

Welcome to the Forum.  The exposures you describe did not put you at risk for HIV.  Condom protected sex is safe sex and the incidental contact with genital secretions that occurs in taking condoms off does not change this, even if you had cuts or abrasions on your hand that were in contact with  genital secretions, particularly a cut that was a day old.

Isolated diarrhea and a sore shoulder 35 days following a contact of the sort you describe do not suggest HIV or generate concern.  These problems are most likely coincidental problems.

The events you describe do not raise concerns for HIV.  I see no need for testing related to them. I hope my comments are helpful. EWH
