Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Pre cum or Pre ejaculate is a body fluid. Genital rubbing especially is there is a wound , open sore or fissure can lead to transmission of HIV if your partner was positive and had a high viral load of HIV.
If you are worried about HIV, Get Elisa HIV ABs done , if negative repeat after 3 months, if positive , do a western blot for confirmation in consult with your doctor.
An alternative to western blot can be two different immunoassays. You may also ask your partner to get an STD panel done including HIV. You may discuss these options with your doctor before proceeding for any tests.
Let me know if you have any query
