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 had unprotected sex with a commercial sex worker, and it's been six months since then. I already took an HIV test using the CMIA method at an ICTC, and it came back non-reactive. Is this result 100% conclusive, or should I take another test after a year just to be sure? I'm a bit anxious about the whole situation and want to make sure I'm in the clear.
Since your 6-month HIV tests (CMIA, ICTC, and HIV rapid tests) were non-reactive, these results are considered conclusive and accurate, and you do not need another test at 12 months unless you are experiencing symptoms or have had another exposure. However, if you remain anxious or have concerns, you can consult with a healthcare provider for further reassurance. Please keep in mind that safe sex practices, including the use of condoms, are important in preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) moving forward.

I'm trying to understand these test results better. It says "Salmonella typhi O TO Reactive up to Titre 140" and "Salmonella typhi H TH Reactive up to Titre 1160." Then there's "Salmonella paratyphi A H AH Reactive up to Titre 180," but "Salmonella paratyphi B H BH Non Reactive." Should I be worried about these numbers? What's the difference between my typhi and paratyphi results? Any advice on what these mean for my health? I'm kind of concerned about what I should do next.
