I'm in Bangalore and I need to get idrv. I managed to get some when I was at home, but I still need more doses. I'm worried because it seems like many private hospitals here might not have it. Do you know where I might be able to find it?

I recently visited a massage place and something is really bothering me. I was wearing one of those disposable poly pants and lying on my stomach. The massage therapist, who was a woman and nude, sat on my buttocks during the massage, and I ended up ejaculating in my pants. There wasnt any kind of penetration at all. But now Im really worriedwhat if her vaginal fluids somehow got through the disposable pant and came into contact with my penis or anus? Is there any chance I could have contracted HIV from this?

HIV can be transmitted through vaginal secretions without penetration if there is direct contact with the penis or anus
