Hiv risk assessment from ejaculate
Hello. I recently hooked up with a male friend from out of town (we're both gay). He says he's had unprotected sex but hasn't tested and I think there's a good chance he's HIV positive.
We didn't have anal sex, the event was mostly just masturbating. After he ejaculated, though, I proceeded to masturbate with his ejaculation fluids as lubricant. Im pretty sure some of his come got into my penis, so Im wonders if I should test for hiv? Was this a high risk activity and should i test? Very worried.

I'm no expert. Most all say that hiv is inactivated when exposed to air. The issue I always think about though is how long would that take. Is it immediate or does it take 5-10 minutes. If you used the fluid on your uncovered penis and you believe you got it into your urethral tract, then I would get tested with a 4th Gen (antibody and antigen) test at 28 days or more. This would relieve a lot of anxiety. The chance is very small you were infected. And it was a low risk due to no penetration and you don't know if the partner was indeed positive.
Any guidance about my hiv risk would be appreciated. I probably shouldn't have fooled around with him, but what's done is done.

HIV is inactivated in air and everything you did is classified as air contact. You had ZERO risk.
