HIV Worries

Hi there, I will explain the situation briefly.

I gave a guy a hand job and am worried about possible HIV transmissions.

He did not touch me and he did not ejaculate (in fact I was surprised at how dry his penis was, as this was my first guy-to-guy contact).

The one thing that does worry me is I have a cut on my right hand (I used my left to do the handjob) from 2 days ago.  I am worried something got on my left, and I touched my right hand and possibly infected myself.

What are the chances?  Should I even be worried?

Thank you for the support and I understand what you mean by shaken up over nothing.  I guess we all freak out a little bit at some point or another.  Thank you for the information.  I am glad to know that HIV dies once exposed to air.

Dude why are you worrying about this
There was no chance hiv does once exposed to air transmission occurs when semen get into vagina and mouth and anus it would have had to had direct contact as soon as he ejaculated to a wound.Your gonna drive yourself nuts.

m2m sex is more riskier only because of anal i know this was your first time with a dude if its gonna scare you like this why bother did you ever freak after being with a girl.I think the whole scenario of doing something with a dude shook you up.You see it all the time.If it aint gay relations its a hooker or something its guilt.

You did not do anything to put yourself at risk. Masturbation is safe sex.

Avoid unprotected anal sex with other men (or unprotected vaginal or anal sex with women) and you will avoid getting HIV.
