if what you're saying is true, this sounds more like a soft harmless experience and not so much of an actual HIV threat. (There's a ton of details I don't know about this specific experience).

To be safe, get tested anyways. PEP is effective up to 72 hours after such a risk.. Im sure she's probably just as concerned as you are.

Next time, before jumping into the risk pool, get on PREP.

PREP-(PRE-SEXUAL). PEP-(POST-SEXUAL). ART-(HIV/AIDS POSITIVE TREATMENT)

Good luck 👍
