[Question #13630] Clarify incident
|

A lap dance at a club in Amsterdam. I was fully clothed the whole time; she was only wearing a thong. It lasted 5 minutes. I kissed her breasts, including her nipples, for a few moments, nothing more. Then, 87 days later, I took a 4th generation combination test.
I want to know if the risk of the interaction is absolutely 0% for HIV, and if the test—it was just one single test—is also 100% safe. Please if you can explain why for both would be great. Thanks you

Welcome back to the forum.
From your previous question a couple years ago, I have the impression you are more worried than necessary about HIV risks from non-intimate exposures. You'll never be at risk for HIV until and unless you have unprotected sex with an infected person (that is, with penile penetration) or if you share drug injection needles with other persons. The event you describe here is zero risk; the virus is not transmitted by oral contact with breasts or nipples. I'm glad for your negative test result, but you did not need to be tested on account of this event. The HIV AgAb (4th generation) blood tests always are conclusive 6 weeks or more after the last possible exposure.
I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.
