Unhappy did I get infected with HIV?

Hi,
I am 28 and I am so worried about an incident that happened this weekend. I received a call from a girl I know at 2 am that she wanted to see me. So as you would expect, I did go…. She was a little bit drunk, and I had a few beers also, so one thing led to another and we were naked on the bed and I started rubbing my penis in her vagina and (here is the part that worries me) I felt like a little bit of her vaginal fluids touched the head of my penis. After that I put on the condom and had sex with her with the condom on.

Can somebody please tell me if there is any risk whatsoever? Please, I am worried as hell and don’t know what to think. Any help would be appreciated. Don’t only read, please read this thread and try to reply please!

Re: did I get infected with HIV?

Very, very, very little risk. I too thought I was infected, actually had symptoms, and went on the internet and did so much research on HIV. I took the test and was negative. Although I am not an expert and a test is the only way to be sure, there is something like a 1 in 500 to a 1 in 8000 chance of being infected with a person who is already HIV positive, depending upon factors. It is a very hard virus to catch, and unless you had an open wound or sore on your penis where the virus can get into the blood system, you probably have a better chance of getting hit by a car today than catching HIV from what you described. Not to mention, it is more difficult for a man to catch it from a woman than vice versa, so much that I read in a San Francisco medical journal, they have thought about not even having a category from men catching it from women. The chances of catching it from a "one night stand" are very, very remote. Take the test, get the negative and next time, just be more careful.

Re: did I get infected with HIV?

Thanks MSH for your reply.
Why do men get infected so much with HIV from women then? I also did read that the chances are about 1 in 500, thats 0.2% chance of getting the virus in a single intercourse (insertive vaginal).

Also MSH do you know if it necesary for a full penetration to occur to be considered a high risk situation or the vaginal fluids casual contact its on the same risk scale?

Take care and thank you once again my friend.

Re: did I get infected with HIV?

Well, one thing I've read specifically pertaining to this is that vaginal secretions are highly acidic. Because of hiv's fragility and the acidity of the secretions, the virus can die much faster and is generally less potent.
