HSV 2 and anal fingering can you catch HIV?
The other day I engaged in mutual masturbation with a gay man unknown hiv status. I heard that this would be safe or no risk.
I had inserted a dildo and was playing with it. The guy was first stroking himself with right hand then switched to left hand. It was about maybe after minute or two before he touched the suction cup part of the dildo that was already inserted pulling it and out using the right hand that had been exposed to air for about a minute . Now I don’t recall seeing or feeling his hand wet with precum but I’m not 100% sure when he touched the inner parts of my butt-cheeks playing with the already inserted dildo.
My issue is that I’m confused because I’m reading that I’m at risk of HIV if precum was present on some sites and then on othersites iam not at risk due to air exposure. I’m even more confused because I have anal fissures and I have Hsv 2.
since there was no penetration from his penis just the use of a dildo and hand with possible precum it am I at risk of HIV?
I took prep two hours after the incident and have been on it since.....I just tested negative after 12 days possible exposure at my local planned parenthood and they said I may be at risk because of my hsv2
Please can a doctor or someone versed on this matter please shed some light as I’m beyond paranoid.

You had no risk and a test would be a waste of time. prep needs to be started before not after so no idea why you are taking it for this incident.
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. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. 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.'

Thank you so much I’m just wondering why the planned parenthood doctor made it seem like that’s it even though after 12 days I’m negative I’m going to get this because I have gential herpes
That is a few sentences in one and not understandable.
Anyway, reread about the long way, because you are wasting your time testing.
