[Question #13915] Risk HIV or STD via kisses on lips

Good morning,

I have been in a monogamous relationship for 25 years. Last night, I met an old friend whom I had not seen for about 20 years. At the end of the evening, in the car park, we exchanged three or four brief kisses on the lips (without tongue). I also kissed her a couple of times on the neck. She briefly touched me over my trousers in the genital area.

I realize this may sound minor, but perhaps due to my lack of knowledge, I am now concerned about any possible risk.

Could you please advise whether there is any need for HIV testing in this situation? Also, should I avoid sexual contact with my wife as a precaution? I would like to avoid telling my wife about this occasional and one off situation.

Thank you very much for your guidance.

Kind regards,
