Hiv Risk? Help!
Hello and thank you for the forum. I had a sexual encounter with Trans Girl Last January 12 2020 and have been feeling anxious all afternoon. Since I didn't have a condom, I refused to bottom for him, but I ultimately allowed him to rub his penis against my anus. I started feeling pressure and realized he was pushing his penis inside of me. I stopped her, but I am worried that he may have inserted the head of his penis into my anus for about 5-10 seconds. I have had receptive anal sex previously and do not think that he fully penetrated me, as I was not in any pain at all. Although he stated that she is tested every six months and is negative, and that he has not had sex for a long time, I still do not know him well enough to trust it. I realize there is some degree of risk for HIV infection (as well as other STIs) but am curious as to how risky this scenario seems and whether I should get tested for this and when. I've heard about PEP and rapid tests, but don't really know if this situation warrants it. Thank you!
thanks if she pressed like a second but i dont feel the penetration is it consider as a risk?

Only you can know if penetration occurred. Only risk is if penetration occurred.
No worries, based on your description hiv risk is non-existent since penetration did not occur. Since you explained that you know you weren't penetrated then you had no risk. However, this has been worrying you with what-ifs for quite some time, so if you still feel uneasy, perhaps it is best to take a duo test (since it is conclusive after 4 weeks) then you can forget about what seems like a non-event. Any other test is conclusive after 3 months. btw, PEP must be started within 3 days of exposure so that is not an option at this time.
At this point in time, which I see is 2 months since your encounter, I would avoid encounters with people you don't live with because of the great risk to you or possibly your loved ones of contracting Covid.
