Dear Doctor, This Post Is Regarding An Incident Which I
Question: Dear Doctor, This post is regarding an incident which I had 3 weeks back. I went to a massage place and things got a bit out of hand. The massage lady (thai) was on top of me, fully clothed (underwear and cotton pants) grinding her vagina on my penis. I was sleeping naked on my back, and there was a towel in between us. So there was three layers of clothing between our genitals. After a few minutes, I saw that she reached orgasm. I went on to check if the towel was wet with the fluids and found it to be a bit moist. Which means these fluids would have passed through the three layers and touched my penis and urethra opening.
I thought that it would be safe to put a towel between our genitals since she was already wearing clothes, but I guess it was not enough to let the vaginal fuilds reach my penis. Request you to assess my situation. Am I at risk of being infected by HIV? Should I go for testing at 6 weeks and 3 months for this incident?

Brief Answer:
You are not at risk of getting HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
You had been there at massage parlour and taken the massage from an unknown status lady but there is no direct contact of vaginal fluid with penis or urethra and there was no penetration also so don't get worried or tensed because doing hand job, playing with the genitals or breasts, deep kissing etc. are no risk activities for HIV.
As such no testing is required for this exposure but if you are anxious enough then go for 4th generation HIV Duos test after 6 weeks of exposure to get highly reliable result. Also don't stay away or don't get indulged with unsafe sexual practices to prevent the future risk of HIV or other STDs. Be relaxed, forget the episode and move on in life. If any further query is there please feel free to ask me again and I am here to help you out always.
Thank You
You are not at risk of getting HIV.

Dear Doctor, thank you for your reply. Can you please explain what do you mean by direct contact?
Are you suggesting that contact of vaginal fluids which have passed through the cloth to the penis is an indirect contact and therefore no risk for HIV.
Sorry to probe you again for this query. I've started over thinking and worrying about this incident now, more than at the time of the incident. It could be due to the articles I've read on the internet. Will it be safe for me if I do not test specific to risk taken for this incident?
I have taken enough hiv tests in the past and feel very anxious testing again.

Brief Answer:
The exposure you had can be considered as non risky.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.
The exposure you had mentioned is definitely indirect and non risky because there is no direct contact or penetration. Further, the survival of HIV virus outside the human body is very difficult and it becomes inactive within few minutes only so don't get anxious or feared as you are risk free.
It is absolutely fine if you don't want to get tested but if you go for the test and it comes negative then it will be helpful for you to relieve your stress or tension. Don't search too much on internet because it will increase your tension. Just calm down, live your life normally and go for the test after 6 weeks. The result will definitely come as non reactive.
Thank You

Ok Doctor, I'll go for the test. This may sound like a strange request, but i will be thankful if you could help me with the same. I prefer going to reputed labs instead of public hospitals. Wherever i go for std/hiv test, they ask me questions like who asked you to test, why are you testing, etc. Since I've done these tests in the past, it becomes embarrassing sometimes and causes lots of anxiety, as I'm very shy by nature.
So can you please help me by providing me with prescription for the tests either hand written or any form you are comfortable with?
Also i would like to know if I'm at risk for stds like gonorrhea, Chlamydia, hep B etc due to this incident.

Thank you Doctor. Just wanted to clarify if you thought that I called your reply of asking me to test as strange. If you felt so, then I'm really sorry for the miscommunication. What I meant to ask as a strange request from my end was, if you could give me a prescription, as the labs ask all sorts of questions before and during the test. In fact, i was once asked if I'm taking the HIV test to apply for Visa. I've had bad experiences at the labs, hence the request.
Sometimes the lab assistants and people working at the counter lack to note the anxiety of the patient and dont think that the person taking the test expects anonymity.
Thank you for the response, and as i mentioned I will be taking the test at the right window period to eliminate any future stress and to get over this incident.
Appreciate your help!
