Question
Hello,

I recently had protected vaginal sex with a female and am wondering what the exposure risk (of anything) of this event would be:

She was fingering herself for a few minutes and then proceeded to masturbate me with the same hand.  then I put on a condom and we had sex.


Answer
HIV transmission is highly unlikely, but if infected vaginal fluid from her hand entered your body through your penis then tramission is possible. It is highly unlikely though. To definitely know your HIV status, you need to seek an HIV test. There is no other way to knonw.
