Hello Dr.Bob
Here I am anxious and having questions again, I read the forums but have small differences in questions, and would help me a lot to have your opinion,, I know you are busy, and the best I can do is give a donation as the last 2 times,, as a matter of fact I have received mail at my home from your concertheeffort foundation.
1. received oral by a friend for about 2 minutes,,I was drunk so I am not sure, he might have just washed his teeth, would that increase the risk considerably?,,I have known him for long,, he has excellent oral hygene.
2: he put his finger in my anus,I think not inside and no more than 20 secds. I have read no risk, but if he put saliva on his finger is there a risk?
3. and this is the strage question,, I am sure that I touched him and felt some precum,,on one or 2 of my fingers,, after the episode ended,, maybe 4 to 6 minutes after, I went to bed and I am sure I picked my nose(put my finger inside my nose for a while) could there be a risk from this,, I am pretty sure if there was some precum on my finger it must have been very little and probably dry , this was maybe 4 to 6 minutes after i touched him.
No one came in the whole time as I felt bad and stoped,the whole thing was not more than 4 or 5 minutes.
I says he was tested 2 months ago as he donated blood for a friends father.
Thank you again dr. Bob

Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi,
1. If your friend has "excellent oral hygiene," your risk remains negligible.
2. Saliva is not considered to be a risk for HIV transmission unless it contains visible blood.
3. Your HIV-acquisition risk would be essentially nonexistent.
As always, if you remain worried, get a single HIV-antibody test at the three-month mark. I'm confident the result would be negative.
Thanks for your donation to the Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation.
Be well.
Dr. Bob
