Answered by Dr. Ralph Chambers (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Hello. Penetration along can transmit HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Any vaginal penetration, unprotected, with or without ejaculation is sufficient to potentially transmit HIV, herpes, or hepatitis B or C.

You need to be screened for all of these now, and, if you're negative, again in three months to confirm you're truly negative.

You should also talk to a physician about PEP medications--prophylactic HIV exposure treatment.

Please let me know if you need any more information.
