HIV transmission?

Hi,

First of all thank you for running this fantastic service. It helps!

I will try and be brief and yet descriptive about my situation. A week ago, I visited a strip club in (north america region). While getting a lap dance from a dancer, she re adjusted my penis in an upright position. In that position, its tip (VERY small part of the tip) was peeping outside of my underware. I had two layers of underware that night as its winter season here. The dancer was against me and rubbing her vaginal area on my groin. I believe it did not make any direct contact with my penis tip. But if it did, can I contract HIV from her if she had it?
I know I am being paranoid here. I dont know if the dancer was HIV positive. Nor do am I certain that I had any skin contact with her vagina. But, two days later, I developed some burning sensation below my penis tip (where the foreskin ends). That part of my penis is always stuck to my testicals and sometimes it causes fungal type infection due to the trapped moistness. Its has happened before. I am using lotramin for last two days, twice daily and it seems to have soothened the burning sensation. It feels like chafing. There is no visible redness or blisters or sores of any kind. It feels moist when it burns. Could it be because of the HIV infection, as I read somewhere that yeast and fungal infections are HIV symptoms?

Please help. Thanks!

HIV takes unprotected penetration to transmit. You did not have an exposure.

Hi Teak....I am sorry to be a little annoyingly paranoid but I had to ask...around the time period of my little incident with the stripper, I had been mastrubating a lot...I usually get acne when I do so...this time I got it on my back (which added to my paranoia)...I was also suffering from cold / sore threat/ flu like symptoms quite before (2 weeks) the incident and they have carried over as I neglected the medication (survived on tylanols cold med)...Now, 2 weeks in to the incident I am experiencing gas problem (burping / farting) a little loose motion although nothing severe...Do you think I should get tested... or its just my mental state thats causing half the problems...I dont want to give it to my partner (female)....
Again, I dont wish to waste anyones time, but I am really worried over it...
I appreciate your response...
Thanks!

you didnt have any risk at all.it means that even if she was infected you had to insert your penis in her vagina to have a risk of being infedect.it's that simple.dont waste ur time or others on this non risk issue.you don't need a test.
