[Question #5735] Risk from kissing and fingering

73 months ago

Hello

I'm very concerned and worried over an incident that happened last night

I went to a strip club and the stripper performed a lab dance on me. During the dance she started deep kissing me and she was biting my tongue and lips. She kept repeatedly doing it. And she also licked my finger and had me put it inside her vagina, so I fingered her too. The whole thing lasted for like 15 minutes between kissing and fingering. She also kissed and sucked my ears and my nick. It was kinda annoying me but I couldn't really stop her. I have to admit that a big amount of her saliva might went inside my mouth from all the kissing And now I'm very worried that I contracted any std.

1) what's are my chances of contracting HIV from all the deep kissing and from biting my lips and tongue and fingering her?

2)What's are my chances of contracting any other type of stds?

3)Should I get tested for hiv or other stds?

Thank you

I'm sorry you found it necessary to ask this question, since the events you describe are pretty much identical to those you asked about three other questions in the past year. The answers and advice of course are the same: hand-genital contact, fingering, kissing, and so on are risk free for all STDs and absolutely risk free for HIV. Without true sex -- unprotected penis inside another person's vagina, rectum, or mouth (for some STDs, but not HIV), you will never be at risk. Accordingly, the answers to your specific quesitons are:

1) Zero.

2) Extremely low to zero.

3) No testing for HIV or other STDs ever is necessary after such events.

Thank you so much Dr Handsfield for you answer. I feel better now knowing that my chances are zero but what about oral herpes? Couldn’t it be transmitted through kissing? In my scenario is it possible? Because she kissed me a lot honestly

Yes, kissing is the main way oral herpes is transmitted, especially in adults. But there's a 50% chance you've already had HSV1 (half of all adults in the US have positive blood tests, mostly from childhood infection, often never diagnosed) -- in which case you're immune to catching it again. Even if susceptible, the chance of HSV transmission is one in many thousand for any single exposure. There is no need to test for it.---
