I'm really anxious right now. After I took off the condom, I accidentally touched the tip of my penis with the same hand. Could this be a risk for HIV or any other harm? I'm pretty scared about this.

I noticed an oval-shaped cystic lesion in my left temporal region with a long coiled echogenic structure moving inside it, and my doctor suspects larva migrans. I've been taking Bandy plus tablets and the swelling has reduced a lot, but I'm wondering if I should see a worm specialist to avoid surgery. Which type of doctor should I consult for this?
