Had an anonymous encounter with a man. no penetrative sex. only kissing, frottage, touching. had a negative 4th gen hiv test at 43 days. is this conclusive in my scenario? or must i re-test at a later time? i have headaches, but could be anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV is a blood to blood transfer as well as bodily fluids .Since no sex the only way a contacting HIV would be from kissing with both partners having bleeding gums or oral bruises and cuts.
