Dear Saumya,
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through your query and understand the concern you are worried about.
HIV is not transmitted through external touching of genitals with underwear in place so don't worry as the risk is very unlikely in your case.
As such no need to go for any HIV test but for your mental satisfaction get tested with 4th generation test to confirm your status and clear all doubts.
Hope this info will help you. For any further query get back to me any time. Stay happy and healthy.
Thank You

Thank you sir.but I forgot to tell u that I licked her breasts which had her vaginal fluids on it as it was in my fingers.so will it cause hiv..
Brief Answer:
You are not at risk.

Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.
HIV is not transmitted through licking of the breast also even though it contains vaginal fluid because human saliva is not the fluid which transmits HIV and it also contains an enzyme which inhibits the growth of HIV virus so no need to worry at all. Just calm down and move ahead in life happily.
