Can HIV Be Contracted Through Non-penetrative Sex?
Question: Had a very limited sexual encounter 8 days ago. There was kissing, that I'm not worried about. There was grinding with underwear on, her panties were completely soaked. There was no insertion of my penis inside of her, nor any direct contact with her groin area. And there was vaginal fingering, but I didnt notice that I had paper cuts on my finger. They weren't bleeding and didn't know until I used some hand sanitizer immediately after. Her status is unk......what are my risked of getting HIV from this limited contact? Would it be a waste to even get tested?
Brief Answer:
Get tested for HIV though the risk is low.
