Gay male receptive Fisting, with trauma, risk?
Hi
So over 6 weeks ago now, I had a fisting session in a sauna with an unknown male. I used my own lube and he wore a latex glove. Once he got his hand all the way inside i felt some pain and asked to stop. When he pulled out there was trauma with quite a substantial amount of blood.
4 weeks post this encounter, I developed a flat rash that looked like red spots on my chest area (mainly around the left bread (just under) and a few on the top of the chest that looked red and puss filled).
I'm really concerned about HIV transmission, as although he wore a glove, there was significant trauma, which would be a gateway for the infection to get in, and I'm concerned of precum or ejaculate having made its way into my anus from him masturbating with his other hand, and then rubbing the gloved(fisting) hand with the hand that has come in contact with Precum/ejaculate.
I'm not able to test as I'm travelling ATM and can't find a clinic to be tested at. But I'm terrified about this encounter. I've read that fisting is a non risk activity, but when there is a major trauma involved then surely there is much higher chance. There was no ******* or any other form of sex, literally just the fisting.

How can you be sure that there's zero risk? If there was a substantial amount of blood, therefore a fresh wound, surely there's a chance of hiv exchange, if the top had precum on his hand as the wound would be a direct entry point for the virus. Other studies suggest that the virus can still infect after exposed to air also, as it doesn't die, it just destabilises, but does still have potential to infect...also, there has been 1 recorded case of hiv from fisting, where the top had ulcers on his hand and got hiv from the bottom.

Maybe 1 case out of millions in the past 40 years. If that's what you want to worry about, you're welcome to do so. However, your odds of dying while using a vending machine are much higher than contracting HIV via fisting.
You can test if you want - that's your choice. It will be negative.
We aren't here to argue - we're here to give advice based on what leading HIV medical experts say. If you've already determined it's a risk, DESPITE WHAT EXPERTS SAY, then do what you want.

Good news, you have zero risk for HIV. You already knew that but refuse to accept it, so I recommend therapy because there is no other way to make you believe it.
HIV is inactivated in saliva and air which means it can't infect from oral which includes kissing or from any form of sex contact other than unprotected anal insertion which you did not have.
No one in 40 years of history got HIV from fisting. Even with blood, lactation cuts, rashes, burns etc air does not allow inactivated virus to infect, so you had zero risk.
Self diagnosis is generally wrong, so you are wasting your time with no medical experience trying to be a Google doctor. Odds are highest that your fear is giving you psychosomatic symptoms due to the faulty premise that you are dying or maybe you have a flu like every other human who doesn't have HIV gets a few times a year whether they had sex or not.
