Hi doctor,
I had been to a massage parlor. I fingered the lady, touched my penis with the same hand, she too touched my penis (I did not cum). Also, I sucked her breasts. Am I at risk of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)?
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is very unlikely from your description.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply. Can I be 100 % sure or is there a small risk? Should I get tested? If yes, when is it ideal and what test should I go for?
Hi, Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Your risk is unwarranted in this case. It is actually non-existent. However, I always suggest my all sexually active patients to know their baseline HIV status and to allay the anxiety. For this, a rapid HIV fourth generation HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) test can be doneat any accredited laboratory. This test can be taken after 4 to 6 weeks of potential exposure. Just to mention, HIV rapid test is also available free of cost at designated centers in the civil hospital of the city.

Hi madam, thank you for the response. If ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) turns out to be negative at the end of 12 weeks, can I take it as conclusive without further tests?

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
