Dr Hook,I am a married man and have always been faithful to my wife and was drinking a couple nights ago after a fight with her and did something very stupid. I met a woman online and visited her. I'm now in great fear and can hardly sleep. I will list the things that happened below. Rubbed her vagina over her underwear it was a bit wet,We made out for 10 min (I do have Gingivitis and my gums tend to bleed often,She rubbed my penis on top of my boxers (it may have touched her),I sucked on her breasts for 10 min,She sucked/nibbled on my finger,I removed my penis from my boxers and masturbated Myself. After that we talked and I left, I asked her if she had other sex partners and she told me she just got divorced 2 months ago and has slept with 3 different guys unprotected in the last month because she is single and dating.One other thing I cannot get off my mind is that after I finished masturbating, I looked at my hands and saw a streak of blood on my pinky finger about 1/4'' wide x 2'' long (it was dry at that point, but was defiantly blood). I showed her and asked if she was bleeding, she showed me her hands and she had absolutely no blood on her that I could see, then my mind goes I went to the gas station before getting to her house and I am betting I got that blood off from the gas pump or the store door handle. My concern is that whoever the blood belonged to, it wasn't mine and I just finished masturbating myself with that hand for 10 min or so.  I didn’t use any lube it was just dry masturbation with the blood on my finger.

Welcome to our forum. Thank you for your questions and your implied confidence in our service.  I’m pleased to be able to assure you that the activities and events you described were virtually no risk for acquisition of STI including HIV.  Despite having had three other recent partners, I would anticipate that it is unlikely that your partner had any STI and her risk for having HIV is a small fraction of 1% at most. Even if she did, however, the activities that you describe, making out, rubbing your hands over her vagina which was wet with genital secretions and rubbing/sucking her breasts are all no risk activities.   Similarly, no matter who’s blood was on your hands when you masturbated, was a no risk event.  Without penetration contact with blood or genital secretions is not associated with any risk for HIV.

I see no reason for concern and no scientific reason for testing.  My advice is to move forward and enjoy your holidays without concern.  If any part of this advice is unclear, please don’t hesitate to use your up to two follow ups for clarification.  EWH
