Can HIV Be Transferred Through Non Penetrative Sexual Encounter?

Hi, I recently had a sensual massage from an hiv positive masseur. At one point his penis briefly touched my anus (no penetration, and hopefully no precum) and later he came on my hand. I have very dry hands that are cracked in places...Should I get tested?

Hello
Non penetrative sex, penis touched your anus ,but no precum inside . Ejaculation on your hand with cracked palm.
Large multi-institutional studies have indicated that risk of HIV transmission following cracked (old ) skin is only ~0.3% and after a mucous membrane it is 0.09% .
But in your case skin was cracked but after 6 hours it start healing and there forms a scab ( protective layer on cracked skin ), so no chance of getting HIV by you.
While anal touching was there but this is not a way for transmission of HIV because of non-penetration.
In my opinion no need of any tests.

Hello ,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

No you are free from the risk of the infections and there is no need to test for HIV.

HIV can only spreads via blood or fluids. As you have not exposed to any fluids or blood, there is no need to test you for HIV.

I suggest you forget the incidence other wise ,thinking makes you mad.

Thank you,
Dr. Arun Tank
