Question
A week ago i went for a lap dance and she ended up putting a condom on my penis and we were having it. After we were done, I touch the condom with my bare hands and must have got in contact with virginal fluid. Am I at risk?

Answer
Dear Adam:

Peace.  No you are not at risk.  Vaginal (not virginal) secretions can transmit HIV but touching some on a condom, unless you immediately rubbed your hand in your open sore, would not put you at risk.  Neither the amount nor the duration seem sufficient for to constitute a significant exposure.

Hope this helps.
