Cut finger and risk
by bklyngirl, Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM
Hi,
I just wanted to see if this I am indeed at risk. I cut my finger with a knife--it was a pretty good gash, although it didn't warrant stitches-- about 3 or 4 days later, while I was hooking up with a guy, he ejaculated, and I believe some of his semen came in contact with my cut finger. Should I be concerned about a possible HIV risk?
Thanks for your time.

No risk. Nobody ever got HIV by this sort of contact; cuts have to be fresh and bleeding to be any risk at all.
