Possible exposure?
First thank you so much for your time, this is very helpful and beneficial for people. I am a man. I watched 2 men have sex. The top fingered the bottom and rimmed him before they engaged in sex. During, the top rubbed my anus for approximately 10 seconds and kissed me once closed mouth. I had no other contact with either of them or fluids. My question is could my anus have gotten infected with HIV since his finger had been in another guy first? Every now and then when I wipe there will be a small tiny amount of blood I guess from wiping too hard could that be a possible entry source for HIV? Also I did not touch either of them. I don't think there was any blood. And what about the kiss? My stress level over this is high. I am 5 weeks out now and i've been taking my temp every now and then and the highest was 99.3 I've had 1 or 2 ulcers in my mouth but that could be normal from stress I guess. I have a bunch of headaches also and as of yesterday have been having a really sore throat. Please help!
Of course it was negative you never had an exposure.
Thank you everyone was tested today @ 6 weeks and was negative
I have never heard that to be true & there has to be unprotected penetration of a penis inside a vagina or rectum for transmission to occur sexually speaking.
So things like this online are not applicable? "Research indicates that anal mucus is the body fluid with the highest concentration of HIV.1" maybe there was slight penetration all I know is the whole finger was not in there.
Wow I am really moved by all of your responses and for not approaching this situation in a judgemental way. This was something I am not proud of and have been praying for peace of mind! You guys are amazing. I haven't had any other sexual exposures other than this so I feel a little more at ease until I get tested. Once again thank you.
hiv is not transmitted outside it's host. once exposed to air...hiv becomes inactive and unable to infect.
transmission takes place when a penis (not a finger) is inside a vagina / anus

At no time did you have a risk for hiv. Hiv is not spread by kissing or touching or masterbation. You do not need to test from this exposure
Yes stay safe and always be careful. I understand your fear. And yes do get tested just so you know your HIV status. But from the exposure above I would have no worries at all.. Dont google everything it will fuel your FEAR drive you insane and you google more cant sleep heart beats fast etc... Oh and Blood pressure goes sky high take a break man do the things you enjoy and stay safe!!
I have an appointment to get tested I was just looking for some knowledge before hand. I had read about HIV being in anal secretions and I was just wondering if they are easily transported I guess would be the word? I'm just trying to stay safe out there!
I think you are over stressing yourself. Try to get your mind on other things and put this behind you..
