Answers:
Okay, here's the truth. Once there was any penetration, there was a chance that if either person was positive, it could have been passed on. Now, there really is no honest way to predict a likelihood. Because it's possible just in the course of those few moments. There have been people infected in the healthcare professional from an accidental needle stick. That happened for less than a second, but still, it was enough time to transmit the virus.

At this point, you're really jumping the gun. First things first. If you are that worried about it, go get tested. You can do it anonymously. And if your area does have the rapid HIV test kit, you'll know in about 30 minutes. If you are negative, you are in the clear. Then, in the future, ALWAYS use a condom, abstain, or get married and be monogamous.Health Question & Answer
