Question : I had been to Massage parlor in July 2009, where both of us were naked and I was rubbing my penis to her body(not vagina) and then we had mutual masturbation where we might have exchanged the body fluids. she did fingering herself in between while doing the hand job.

what if her vaginal fluids tough the head of my penis with her hand. is there a chance of getting hiv?

I asked the same question in 2009, and I was told that it is not a risy activity. But things might have changed in past 7 years.

Now after 7 years, I have been having dry cough since last 4 months which did not respond to antibiotics, allergy and acid reflex medications.. Wondering if this could be later sign of hiv infection.. Very much worried and scared to get tested.
