Welcome to our Forum. I will be pleased to comment. I agree with the information already provided on the HIV community site- there is no known risk for HIV from masturbation (fingering) a sexual partner. this sort of event has happened literally millions of times yet there has NEVER been a case of HIV transmitted in this way- not ever! This is true even though much of the time when such exposures have occurred, there were small cuts or scrapes present on the fingers of persons who masturbated their partners.
In your own case you do not even know that the masseuse you were with had HIV and statistically it is unlikely that she did. Even if she did however, there is no known risk for infection.
As for your recent symptoms, these are not symptoms of HIV but may be due to the stress you have experienced related to the events you have described.
I hope my comments are helpful to you. There is no reason for concern and no reason for testing for HIV. There was no risk to the events that you have described. EWH
Thank you Mr.Hook. I only wanted to have another opinion for my doubts. I have been really scared for the past 5 weeks.
I understand from your answer that you consider my cut a small one or a superficial one, isn't if?
And just the last question. Is it possible to have the onset of Ars hiv symptoms 5 weeks after exposure?
Thanks again. And congratulations for your work and that of your team.
Correct, even with a small cut, there is no risk for HIV.
It is possible to have ARS five weeks after exposure. That does not change that you are not at risk for HIV from the exposure you mention. EWH
Hello again Dr.Hook.just the last questions.
1.If, for instance, the cut was opened during the fingering and bled a little bit, would that change your answer that I didn't have any hiv exposure?
2. Can I continue normal sexual life with my wife?
Thank you again for your professional help.
Final, repetitive answers.
1. No risk.
2. Obviously, if there is no risk for HIV, then there is no reason to abstain from unprotected sex with your wife.
