Question
Hi,
i went to an escort couple of days back, i didnot have sex or oral sex with her, she started fingering herself and i was aslo mastrubating myself, but accidentally when she removed her finger from her vigina it toched my open penis(i wasn't wearing condom)(i washed my penis with soap after 1 hr)just for a fraction of second, is there any risk of getting any STD's or AIDs?

Thank you.

Answer
HIV is transmitted when infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid and/or breast milk enter another person's body through a natural or artificial opening... theoretically, if infected vaginal fluid entered your penis, then transmission is possible. However, from what you describe, transmission is extremely unlikely. Washing does not protect against HIV and STI transmission though- for future knowledge.
