Can HIV Be Contracted Through Non-penetrative Sexual Activity?

default
Posted on Mon, 23 Mar 2015
Question: Hello,
recently I invited a man to my house, we didn't have any kind of penetrative sex or oral sex, but when he ejaculated, it accidentally landed on and around my anus area.
I took a shower afterwards, but I'm very nervous.
Is it possible to get the HIV virus in this manner? What is the risk?
Thank you so much for your help.

Almost no risk of transmission of HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic.

I have gone through the details .
As there is no penetrative sex the chances of HIV transmission is nil.
The contact of semen with intact skin or mucosal membrane (anus) is not a risk for transmission of HIV. If there is any ulcer or open wound in the area of contact there is slight risk.
The person may be negative too.

I do not find any risk of HIV transmission.
You can allay fears.

You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you
