HIV Risk from Stitches Removed during Group Sex

[abhistud]

Hi,

I had a mole from my nose removed on Monday, for which I got stitches and they were due to be removed by the doctor a week later. But 4 days after the mole removal procedure and with my stitches still intact, I participated in a group sex party with other gay men. I didn't have any anal sex but I gave oral sex to a few men and intense and rough kissing with other men. I do not know their HIV status. I may have had semen and precum fall on my face and possibly the wound. I'm not sure.

But when I got back home from the party and checked my face in the mirror, I noticed that the stitches on my nose had come out. I'm now terrified that I may have put myself at HIV risk by participating in these activities and especially because the stitches had come out due to the rough kissing and oral sex.

My questions are:
1. Do I have an HIV risk with the open wound and my stitches coming out during the sex? And with their semen and precum falling on the open wound?
2. Do I need HIV testing based on this situation?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You had no risk and any HIV test would be a waste of time. If HIV was a risk doctor have advised you to not have group sex for a while.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV.  No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.
