Does a fungal infection and fungal opening on shaft increase chances of hiv ? After sex with 4 women with whom I used a condom 100% Kindly asking  pls. In case their fluid got in touch with my fungal rash as I removed the condom it sipped in from the top as I noticed at some point . Thanks. Tested negative for vdrl and waiting for hiv test . I'm currently on OTC medicine for fungal . But will do a culture this week if symptoms persist . Doctor did not not do a urine test as he sees no discharge or pain during urination . Kindly help!!! Am I at risk of hiv

Is fungal infection caused by antibiotics or by intercourse? A fungal infection is most likely an Candida Albicans fungus but it's not a std. Also it does not increase risk for catching hiv. Your flora on your penile skin is out of balance and it can take time to get rid of the fungus.
See doctor if it doesn't go away and forget about hiv

The only adult risks for HIV are:
1) Having unprotected penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.

There is no other event that will cause you to be infected with HIV, including the event you mention.  You had ZERO risk for HIV and you do not need a test.  You can only increase a risk IF a risk ever existed.  You cannot increase a risk from zero.

In the interest of the health of your partners, you should stop having intercourse until your fungal infection has cleared.  Unlike HIV, fungal infections can be easily passed from person to person.

Thanks for your reply , in regards to hsv 2 should I be worried ? It's been 15 days and doctor says he didn't see any blisters , but only fungal .

I was worried about hiv cause I found a white spot on my shaft and had non intact skin

Thanks
This forum is only for HIV, and you definitely didn't have a risk.  If you want to ask about HSV, you can do so here: https://www.medhelp.org/forums/Herpes/show/195
