flu-like symptoms Sep 30, 2013 Hello, I masturbated/fingered in a public shower, and I am wondering, say, if there had been someone's bodily fluids on the tap and then I touched myself, what are the chances of getting HIV? I had a horrible flu 4 days after masturbating in a public shower. I'm wondering if I should get tested? |

 Hi No risk of HIV transmission in this situation. If there were HIV containing fluids in the shower the good news is that HIV dies and becomes unable to infect within a few minutes. Also symptoms don't appear this quickly. You most likely have the flu. Be well and stay safe, Shannon | ||||||||
