Fluids in cuts

[summersmile]

Hi

From reading other questions and the replies, I have an idea that you will all suggest HIV cannot be transmitted in the following ways, I would however be grateful for a medical explanation why:

1) If my penis is touched with hands that have vaginal fluid on them and then has a condom placed on it and them has these fluids rubbed against my penis inside the condom during intercourse - surely this poses the same risk as unprotected sex?

2) If vaginal fluids are wiped onto broken skin - like chafe or a cut on my thigh - surely this poses a risk? What about picking my nose with vaginal fluid on my hands? (skin in nose is very thin!)

If not, why not? I'd really appreciate some detailed explanations.

1. NO
2. NO

The fluids have been exposed to air, temp and ph changes.

Thanks Teak

So basically fluids, once they leave body cavities (Vagina, mouth, anus) pose no HIV risk?

It seems then that excluding needles, transfusions etc,  as a heterosexual guy, the only way I could get HIV would be for me to place my penis in a vagina unprotected. Do you agree?

Oral is not a risk and yes once they leave the penis or vaginal area the outter shell of the virus is damaged and inhibits the virus from being able to infect. You must have unprotected penetrative sex to transmit HIV or inject it by blood into a vein.
