Though I did not penetrate, is there a risk for HIV?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Yes, if there is contact of her secretion with your glans, then you are at risk.

• Can you tell me the exact date on which exposure happens in order to tell you the right test?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. 

• The vaginal fluid contains the virus, so if it comes in contact with any mucosa whether oral or genital, then you are at risk.

• You can go for HIV RT-PCR testing (real-time polymerase chain reaction), which becomes positive in two to three weeks.

• Are you experiencing any symptoms of flu, rash and sore throat? Was this your first such exposure?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• Mucosa means mucus membrane like oral cavity, tongue, pharynx, glans penis, conjunctiva, cornea, etc. In short, where the outer skin is not there and it also includes gastrointestinal tract.

• So, whenever vaginal fluid comes in contact with any of the above then there is a risk.

• Although the chances of acquiring HIV are low, but it is still there. So, you can go for HIV RT-PCR testing and also go for the 4th generation testing after 4th week of exposure. It becomes positive in more than 90 percent of HIV positive cases and very rarely one has to wait for 12 weeks.
