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'm really worried right now. I had a one-time encounter with an escort and we used a condom. I'm super concerned about my chances of getting HIV from this. Can you give me some insight on that? Also, Id really appreciate it if you could recommend which STD tests I should consider getting. I'm pretty anxious about this whole situation.

I'm really anxious right now because I accidentally came into contact with serum blood from someone who's HIV positive at the pathology laboratory where I work. I'm worried about the possibility of getting HIV from this. Can you help me understand the risks or what I should do next?
Accidental exposure to HIV-positive blood can be worrying. To reduce the risk of HIV transmission, you should immediately wash the affected area with soap and water. Additionally, you should seek medical evaluation as soon as possible. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) medication can be prescribed to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. It is important to start PEP as soon as possible, ideally within hours of exposure, for it to be most effective.

I had oral sex with a girl and ejaculated in her mouth back in November 2018 and I didn't know her blood status. Eight days after the encounter, I did a PCR RNA test and it was negative. Then, at one month, I took an HIV Tridot and syphilis test, both negative. At 75 days, I repeated the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests, and they were also negative. I took the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests again on January 30. Those came back negative too. Is the HIV Tridot test accurate after 82 days? I'm really anxious about this...
It's understandable to feel concerned, but based on the tests you've had, including the HIV Tridot after 82 days, it is highly accurate, and a negative result is reassuring. HIV testing generally gives reliable results after 3 months, so you can have peace of mind. If you still feel anxious, consulting with a healthcare provider for further guidance is always a good step.
