Std risk from genital rubbing
Hi everyone,
9 to 10 years ago I had naked genital rubbing. But I didn't do any std test. I never had any symptoms of syphilis or herpes . Should I test for those also?

Why would you ask today about hiv from a 9 year old ago encounter when you tested for it a year ago? You should seek therapy for your hiv fixation, because you obviously can't get hiv off your mind. It is wasting too much of your time thinking about such an impossibility, so maybe a professional can help you live a more normal life.
This is the HIV forum. You've asked previous questions related to HIV and risks. You were told that HIV is ONLY transmitted in adults from having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles. That air inactivates the virus. Therefore, no. HIV is not at all involved in genital rubbing. With regards to other std's, I'll go ahead and answer even though that is not the intent of this particular forum. After 9 to 10 years with no symptoms, stop worrying about genital rubbing from that long ago.
