I'm really worried and need some advice. If I had protection and my penis just touched or rubbed a little against the upper part of the vagina, is there still a risk of HIV? Should I ask him to get tested even though there was no penetration?

The risk of HIV transmission in this scenario is extremely low, especially if protection was used, and there was no penetration or exchange of bodily fluids. Routine testing is not necessary for such contact, but if you're anxious or unsure about potential exposure, getting tested can provide peace of mind.

View allI recently had protected intercourse with a massage therapist I didn't know, and it only lasted about 5 minutes. I'm really concerned and wondering how good condoms are at keeping you safe from HIV, especially since the condom didnt break the whole time. Could you shed some light on this?
mostly no but get it checked once

I've been dealing with swelling on the left side of my neck for about a month now. My doctor diagnosed it as lymph node tuberculosis and gave me some medication to treat it. I've been following the treatment plan for 25 days, but the swelling seems to have increased rather than decreased. Why would it get bigger while I'm on medication? Could it be spreading to other parts of my body?
yes it can be transfered to other body parts. continue medicines

Can being bitten or scratched by an Indian bat give someone rabies? Should I get a post-exposure prophylaxis if I've been near bats? I'm really worried about this whole bat thing and would love some advice.
