HIV risk?
I have a situation which I am concerned about whether or not I have been exposed to HIV.
I am a 24 year old male and about a week ago (May 12) I had casual sex with a stranger I met online. I know nothing about him or his health status. We didn't engage in any risky behavior but there is a scenario which concerns me.
He was dripping with pre-cum from the end of his penis, and so was I. It got to a stage where I had to wipe it off from both of us. The only available thing to use at the time was my t-shirt I had taken off.
I wiped his pre-cum dry off from his penis, and STRAIGHT AWAY used the same t-shirt to wipe my pre-cum off of myself.
My question is, would I have been exposed to or contracted HIV from doing this? I think I might of actually got his pre-cum onto myself (on my glands/urethra)since we shared the same material and it was pretty instant.
I would really appreciate an honest answer from you.
Many thanks!

Hello again,
After what I think is a 'no-risk' activity as mentioned before, I've began to dramatically lose weight. Theoretically I thought I hadbeen exposed to the hiv virus on the 12th of May, but ever since, I've been shedding the lbs for no explained reason.
I think I've been eating just as well as I had before, but then again I'm not sure.
Should I be concerned as losing weight is one of the primary symptoms of hiv?
Many thanks

transmission requires penetration...it happens inside the body, when a penis is INSIDE a vagina / anus.
