Brief Answer:
the risk is only theoretical

Detailed Answer:
No. If there wasnt penetration and prolonged contact between genitals the risk is only theoretical. There is no reported case of such transmission where clothes was on. So you don't have to be worried at all. If there was direct contact between your genitals without penetration even then the risk is negligible.wish you good health.regards

Brief Answer:
Hi.

Detailed Answer:
No, i wouldnt test if I were you. it is not recommended to do tests since the risk is really negligible.If you suspect that this person is HIV+ then you can do it for your own satisfaction but it should be 4 weeks after this intercourse.YOu can ask that person to do test too. You should really not be concerned and go on with your life.

Brief Answer:
hi

Detailed Answer:
There is always theoretical risk but such transmission wasnt reported yet and practically this is not possible since hiv virus can't live outside human body. I don't see why are you so concerned. There is absolutely no reason for it and you should clear your mind and go on.
