HIV? could genital rubbing cause it?

Could there be a risk of HIV infection if I was lying on my side and the guy rubbed the tip of his penis over the lips of my vagina? I was wet at the time but he never put his penis inside me. This genital rubbing lasted maybe a minute tops before he stopped. He just rubbed his tip up and down. I'm just a little worried.

  • Yes, it's possible. HIV is spread through the exchanging of bodily fluids. This would include vaginal fluid, semen, blood, etc. That's why condoms are so important in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV. If you're with someone who you know is positive, you need to take extra precautions to prevent the transmission of the disease. Please take the time to educate yourself about HIV, how it spreads, and how you can protect yourself. Here is some information from the CDC website. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html

    I would highly recommend getting tested and talking to your doctor about ways to be safe.

  • Even if dude was known to be HIV+, the risk here would still be infinitesimal. And, from the way you wrote the q, I'm gna assume this isn't known or even strongly suspected.

    I mean, there's nothing wrong with getting a battery of STI tests done anyway, just for peace of mind or whatevs. (:

    I'm more curious about how you could get to that point, but NOT have sex. What brought on this sudden bout of self-restraint? SO CURIOUS. Did dude just blow his load early? Or did someone walk in on you?

    • We decided to wait to have sex. ( never did have sex lol) Thank you for the peace of mind :)

    • Yr welcome. Tx for mh.

  • Where mucous skins touch, there's a risk of transmitting a STD. HIV isn't the most virulent.

  • In any contact or close proximity of genitals, use a condom and pay close attention to link Honeybee gave you. If you still have concerns, get tested for peace of mind.

  • The risk is real but fairly low.

  • If either of you had cuts, yes

    • no cuts on either of us

    • I'd still get tested if you are worried

  • Does he have HIV?

  • Craps is the best game in the house. I might play with house money. (yes statistically bacharrat is the highest win% but for the general public craps is highest)
