Blood exposure into urethra risk?

Hello i have multiple snags and holes in my jeans from my cats claws. I was passing by a custodial worker bent over cleaning over trash in a crowded area and my crotch area grazed by his face. If he was bleeding and the blood went through my jeans (and i wasnt wearing underwear) and into my urethra can hiv be able to transmit?

hiv is transmitted through…

unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child

if you have one of the above exposures…THEN you have put yourself at risk

I don't think you are understanding, if he was giving you oral sex it would still,be no risk... That is the only way it could have got blood from his face to your Crown Jewels.

If you cannot accept the fact that you did not catch HIV this way, please do seek some some help for your fears.

If you have two open wounds, one on each person, both bleeding and one person had HIV, you then put the two wounds together whilst blood was weeping  there is then a chance of infection if the blood was passing what would be almost internally, if it hits the air, the virus becomes inactive.

You really can move on from this, you did no way catch HIV from this episode.

If blood is unable to infect once leaving the body then how do people still get infected with blood to blood contact like hospitals or somewhere else

Simple. As soon as blood leaves the host person the virus is rendered inactive and incapable of infecting.

If on the other hand you had unprotected sex with a person then a test is a good idea as HIV can be spread this way, regardless of blood it would be a risk.

Your original description is NO RISK,

Yes it sounds irrational but if we assume everything happened how is it still no risk. Blood in urethra

So this person was may have bleeding but you're not sure, you think you may have graised passed them and the blood got through a potential hole in your jeans to where your penis was clearly exposed with your euretha open and the blood got through, not to mention the person in question had HIV.

Your thinking is so irrational I almost think your post is fake, out of due diligence though,,I will confirm that it is IMPOSSIBLE to catch HIV this way.

I would consider therapy as suggested if these thoughts continue.
