Exposure to Semen

Hi,

Last week I  had a meeting with a guy.We had no anal sex, just body rubbing and then he came between my legs, and in that area i have an irritation and allergy the same day. All his semen was on my skin right where the allergy and irritation was.

He also gave me blowjob and a condom was used, he also tried to finger me but i stopped him after he started, so he touched my balls, *** area with his hands with semen.

Today I have high fever and pain on my throat and I am very scared.
I asked him before and he said he doesn't do anal at all,,,

Do you recommence me HIV testing, because of the semen on my skin with irritation and alllergy?

Thanks for your help.

You were never at risk of contracting HIV. HIV is not transmitted outside its host.

My understanding is that semen would have to be in contact with an open, bleeding cut. Surface contamination, according to the Dr.'s on this forum is very rare. When cuts, abrasions nicks occur, they start healing from the inside, thus rendering susceptible cells out of reach for HIV. There is a school of thought that says that once HIV is outside of the body and exposed to changes in light, temperature and ph it looses it's infectious qualities. Infection occurs in either anal or vaginal intercourse, or intravenous needles. As these did not occur, the actual chance of getting HIV is ver low, perhaps you would be the first to get the disease this way. Ask a doctor, don't take my word for it.

Unless the area between your legs was somehow open, as in had skin tearing, you're probably fine.  The fever and throat pain could be because of your allergy with some antibodies (as a result of your allergy) lingering in your blood stream.  

On the other hand, if you know that he had his semen on his fingers as he was fingering you, it might be reason for concern.  However, ARS rarely occurs 1 week after infection- It will occur 2-6 weeks after said infection, and will also have an non-itching rash affect your face and torso.  Additionally, the fever and throat pain would accompany the swelling of the lymph nodes as well as muscle pain- in all, this would last for a week to two weeks.  

Since you have it just starting today, wait it out, gargle salt water, get some rest- chances are it's from a different source. Most importantly, don't jump to conclusions.
