I am worried about HIV exposure after mutual masturbation.

[Sawman12]

I am a white male and I fingered a woman for about five minutes. She was extremely stimulated. I then proceeded to masturbate myself for a few minutes with her vaginal fluids on my hand. Am I at risk for hiv?

As our members have clearly stated, you did not risk HIV from this exposure.  As having NO risk should answer your question that testing is unnecessary at all, we are going to close this discussion.  We wish you the best of health.

You don't have any risk for HIV so don't need to test.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching. It doesn't matter if you and they were bleeding at the time either because it is effectively dead.

Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with so you had no risk.
Even with blood, lactation cuts, rashes, burns etc air does not allow inactivated virus to infect from oral. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make it a risk.

Anxious, I do really appreciate your immediate response. My only fear is that I've read that HIV can live up to 30 seconds outside of your body. Do you agree with this? If so, would it justify an HIV test.

We rely on the advice of expert doctors but are not affiliated with other sites and you can read anything on the internet including theoretical risks that haven't occurred in history yet. Reread the part about the 40.

I'm having a red rash on my scrotum and had body aches like the flu. I know you said it's impossible to transmit once outside the body but I've read these are symptoms and I'm losing my mind. I'm 18 days post exposure. Would an instant finger poke test have any benefit this early?
