Genital Rubbing
Had potential exposure with HIV+ women. Luckily all we did was just genital rubbing and kissing. Both of us are naked. I didnt penetrate her in any way. She was on top of me and grinding. I understand kissing is not potential risk, but how abt genital rubbing? Please advice should i take PEP asap, im still within the window period.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
As you can see, you did not do any of the activities on the list of risks.
If you do not engage in any of the activities I mentioned above with someone HIV+ or whose HIV status is unknown to you, you will NEVER have to worry about getting HIV. There is no information you could add about this event that would make it a risk for HIV.

Thank you for your answer. May i ask if vaginal fluid is infective, why rubbing is a not risky event? Definitely sure that i dont need PEP treatment?
HIV is a very fragile virus, and only infects sexually when a penis is INSIDE a vagina or anus. We have almost half a century of research telling us that that is true. You don't need PEP or testing. You never had a risk for HIV.
Thank you. You guys are awesome!
