HIV Exposure Risk?
Dear Dr. Hunter,
I had an encounter with strip club dancer a week ago. She gave me a protected ******** for 5 min. I saw saliva on my condom. I also noticed she was spitting occasionally. Before giving the ********, she used a baby wipe to clean her vagina little bit, in preparation to have sex. After ******** I asked her to stop and no to further sex. Then, she firmly asked me to wait and removed the condom with a baby wipe on top of it. While removing I felt she went up again as if she is rubbing saliva on to my exposed penis. I am scared of this behavior of her. Also I am doubtful if she intentionally used the cloth she used to wipe the vagina? Please advise on my potential risk. Do I need HIV testing? Please do not say any thing to ease my worry. I need a blunt opinion. I am having a mild head ache now. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum. I'll try to help. But you could have helped yourself if you had paid attention to the advice in the Disclaimer message and taken a couple minutes to look for other threads with similar questions. If you had done that, you could have seen hundreds of threads that make the following points:
You cannot catch HIV through saliva. HIV is rarely if ever transmitted from mouth to penis by oral sex. Condom-protected oral sex is zero risk. The indirect contacts with a woman't genital secretions like you describe do not transmit HIV. They call HIV an STD because you have to have sex to transmit it (duh) -- and what you did doesn't count. And it is the rare stripper who has HIV anyway -- really rare. When it comes to sexual transmission of HIV, this is all you need to know: no penis inside vagina or rectum equals no HIV risk.
"Please do not say anything to ease my worry"? What is that supposed to mean? Why did you come to this forum except to ease your worry?? Anyway, the facts are the facts, and the fact is that you could not have caught HIV from the events you describe. You don't need HIV testing on account of these events.
Really, settle down. No risk at all.

Patience, patience. We're not sitting at our computer screens continually to take questions. MedHelp guarantees a reply within 24 hours, no sooner.
The additional comment about the lab dance makes no difference in my advice above.
I'm not going to respond to any "yes but" or "what if" questions. If you need more information, please search the forum for other threads on the same topic.

Dr. Edward, I am sorry, I didnt notice there were two doctors who answers questions here? Can you please answer my earlier question. This is my first time asking a question here and please provide the advise.
Also, one thing I want to add is before this, she gave a lap dance. I did not notice any cut or blood on my penis, but felt some abrasion. Just want to give you the complete picture. Thank you.
