Fingering & HIV infection(via nose):

Hi,
1. Can a person(let's say subject A-male) get infected by accidently inserting vaginal fluids(from an infected person, let's say subject B) into nose?

Assuming, subject A did fingering activity on subject B who works at a night club, but after the activity subject A accidently used the same finger to dig his nose(after 1 mins). Can HIV get transmitted via nose(mucus membranes)?
What's the risk if no cuts or wounds found inside nose while subject A digged his nose?

How servere is this case?

Is there any case like this reported to Centers for Disease Control?

Daniei is right ! The only proven and documented sexual routes of transmission are,
1. Unprotected Anal Sex
2. Unprotected Vaginal Sex
3. Condom Failure due to any reason, during sex (very rare)

All other behaviors, like oral sex,mutual masturbation, deep french kissing, all fall under either bextremely low (just a theoretical risk, no documented case) or no risk category.
