Can HIV Be Transmitted From Having Minimal Penetration Sex?
Hello!I would just like to ask. I had unprotected exposure with a female sex worker about 2 weeks ago. I don t know her status.She said she was new in the business, and given that her vagina was quite tight (sorry for the details) I didn t quite fully penetrate her. If anything I was trying to thrust the tip of my penis into her to no avail.I did this for a good total of around 3 minutes. Embarrassing to say, but I d rather have a peace of mind.When I fingered her she was quite dry and barely had vaginal fluids.About a week later I was feeling feverish but body temp was normal. Although it might be caused by post nasal drip and sinus issues that I ve been having PRIOR to exposure.I m waiting for a week or so to get a more accurate testing. For the meantime it s been nagging my mind of the risk. Given the circumstances, what are the chances of HIV transmission?Thank you!
If you had not penetrated her vagina and the status was unknown then the risk of getting HIV is very remote so don't get so much worried or tensed. The symptoms are due to some other infection. Consult physician and follow the treatment regime. The best way to confirm about your status is to get tested so go for testing at-least after 4 weeks to get reliable and accurate result.
