Vaginal Fluid

Hi

Hooked up with a friend 2 weeks ago.

Sex and blowjob was protected. However, there was an incident where I was fingering her. After fingering her, I immediately jerked off and came.

I know that the sex was protected, but I'm abit worried about the fluids that were on my hand when I jerked myself off. There might be some fluids that may have entered my urethra. I've since come down with a fever and have some white thrush on my tongue

Since it's past 2 weeks, I'm way past PEP. Is this something that I need to be worried. about? Her fluids on my hand when I jerked off? Also I heard that the meatus/foreskin is a way where HIV can be absorbed?

Hi. Can someone tell me more about why it's not a risk?

At the same time when answering, is it with the assumption that the other party is positive

Would appreciate if some light is shed. Esp since my exposure was an immediate handjob after touching vaginal fluids

Thank you

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (hand,  fluids,  maybe blood, cuts, semen, mouth, finger, etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you ANSWER "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
You're lucky it is now 2 weeks later, so you won't be able to waste your time taking PEP. Your logic is puzzling when you ask "is it with the assumption that the other party is positive " since obviously if the person was negative you would have zero risk.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.

You can't get HIV or any STDs from a finger EVEN IF the finger has fluid on it. There is no detail you could add to this event that would make it a risk for HIV.
