thank you for query.the dates are too old to comment as already the results would be clear.The chances of transmission of HIV by sexual route is 1/ 200 to 1/2000 even if the partner is HIV infected.here as there is just a contact for 2 seconds the chances are almost nil for the transmission of HIV.it does not spread by touch.hope there were no secretions or abrasions.if so there are minor chances if one of them is infected.You can get back for any clarifications with details.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and venereologist

Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your doctor I would like to advice you that if your penile mucosa had contact with the vaginal fluid than you have chance of getting HIV. But if your penis had covered with the skin above to it than you are protected with the HIV. Even after complete penetration and intercourse its only 0.1 to 1 % chance of getting HIV, so in your case i can say you are 99% safe.If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx.
