Broken skin exposure?

[av15233]

I had protected sex with a sex worker, but, the skin on my testicles is dry and cracked. what is the risk if any of her blood or vaginal fluids came in contact with the dry and cracked skin on the testicles?

Hi, Claire, our moderator, has stated that HIV is not transmitted this way and no added factors will change that.  We are now going to close this thread as there is nothing to add to no risk.  good luck

thanks, but i have one last question, i forgot to mention i have herpes(hsv-2), doesnt that double the risk of an hiv infection?

[Claire_MHModerator]

No, it would not be a risk. HIV cannot be acquired this way.

Hi, av15233,

In adults, HIV is transmitted only via unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse, or via sharing syringes with an HIV-infected drug user.  It cannot be transmitted outside the body via fluids and, since your incident was protected, you weren't exposed to HIV.

Hi, what if even i was bleeding due the dry and cracked testicle skin, and she had also put her vagina on top of the testicles. so would in that case it would be a risk if her vaginal blood came in contact with mine?
