increased risk with rubbing alcohol?
I had protected sex with a CSW in a massage parlor, immediatly after the intercourse I doused my groin area with 94% isoproyl alcohol. It really burned badly on my testices so about one minute later I washed with dial soap and water. Now I have read that some concentrations of rubbing alchohol may not kill HIV and that the irritation I caused my have increased my risks.
What are the risks that the rubbing alcohol may have opened up my skin and allowed any vaginal fluid remaining on my pubic hairs to infect me. I plan on taking a test in three weeks, six weeks and 3 months. I am currently refraining on being intimiate with my SO until I know the risks and results of the three week test. What are your thoughts?

Definitely no risk... and I agree with Vance. Do not pour rubbing alcohol on your genitalia...not only does it hurt, it's very bad for your skin in that amount.
