Can HIV Be Contracted Through Non-penetrative Sexual Activity?

Posted on Sat, 3 Sep 2016

Question: Hi. I indulged in heterosexual French kissing and fingering. The lady I was with told me later that her companion many years ago had developed hiv/253657?iL=true" >AIDS. She further informed me that she has been continually testing herself and has come up HIV negative each time.
There was no oral or vaginal sex. What are the chances of my contracting HIV?

Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM.

French kissing and fingering with women of known negative status are no risk activities for HIV. Even though the women was positive than also the risk is very unlikely or remote so don't get worried. For any further query feel free to ask me any time.
