Can HIV Be Contracted Through Non-penetrative Sexual Activity?

default
Posted on Mon, 23 Mar 2015
Question: Hello,
recently I invited a man to my house, we didn't have any kind of penetrative sex or oral sex, but when he ejaculated, it accidentally landed on and around my anus area.
I took a shower afterwards, but I'm very nervous.
Is it possible to get the HIV virus in this manner? What is the risk?
Thank you so much for your help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic.

I have gone through the details .
As there is no penetrative sex the chances of HIV transmission is nil.
The contact of semen with intact skin or mucosal membrane (anus) is not a risk for transmission of HIV. If there is any ulcer or open wound in the area of contact there is slight risk.
The person may be negative too.

I do not find any risk of HIV transmission.
You can allay fears.

You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you
