Risk from Erotic Massage
Let me explain my situation:
On the 9th February, I got an erotic massage. Whilst there was no sex involved, I finger ****** the masseuse for at least 30 seconds. This was not just rubbing the outside of her vagina; I vigorously ****** her with my fingers. Knowing that HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex, I did not think I was at risk.
Around 8 days later, I got a couple of pimples on my lip. I initially thought that these were herpes cold sores, so I panicked and started researching STD's. Whilst these turned out to just be pimples, it got me thinking about the possibility that I had HIV.
Around 11 days after my exposure, I felt a slight burning sensation when I pissed. That same night, I panicked and thought I had HIV. I went to my doctor the next day, who ran tests and said that I did not have an urine infection. He said I may have a throat infection, and gave me antibiotics for that. (later tests also showed I don't have chlaymadia, Gonorrea, Syphilis)
For the next 5-6 days, I was feeling a bit down. I experienced lethargy and white tongue. At the time, I thought the white tongue was oral thrush, and bought some Daktarin Oral Gel to address the issue. This did not work because my white tongue was caused by mouth dryness, not thrush. My personal opinion is that the whole experience was just a combination of my panic about HIV (I was very scared-->even woke up in the night to check whether I had any rashes), along with the side effects of the antibiotics.
The only symptom that has stayed with me after I got better was the dry mouth. For 2 weeks after I got better, I thought I had oral thrush, so I ignored any signs of dry mouth. However, lately, I have realised that I indeed have dry mouth, not thrush. Although the dry mouth is very mild, it is definitely there. I used Daktarin, so I iniitally thought it was a side effect, but I have been off it for around 2 weeks, so I don't think Daktarin is the cause. If I talk too much, I can feel my mouth drying out, or if I don't hydrate myself well, my tongue goes dry very quickly. I don't have any difficulties swallowing food or talking. If I think too much about my dry mouth, it only seems to get worse.
I have the following questions:
1. What are the chances I got HIV through vigorous finger *******?
2. I am under the impression that dry mouth is a late stage HIV symptom, not something that happens this early. Is that correct?
3. Can my current dry mouth be because I have some underlying stress about HIV, even though I am no longer severely panicking about it?

The only thing is that I am not panicking anymore, but I still have dry mouth. Whilst I'm constantly walking around with this stress on me, I am not severely panicked, but I still have dry mouth. This is what has me worried.
So do you think my dry mouth is caused purely by stress? I've never had this issue before, so it's left me wondering.
What if she rubbed her vagina and then used that hand to jerk me off? Is this a possibility for transmission. I know my risk is low but the dry mouth gives me a bad feeling I can't shake off.
1. The chance is zero. Not 0, 01%, not 0, 001% but ZERO!!!
2. It is not a typical early ARS symptom, right but it doesn't matter as you had NO risk at all
3. Read my thread from this morning - I am experiencing this dry miuth/stomach since months...and that is because of anxiety I am sure. A dry mouth us a typical psychic symptom you ger when you are in fear.
Sounds funby to hear that from someone who us so scared as U am but I assure you for 100% there is no risk at all from Fingering!!! No hiv transmission possibke!!!
