Gentlemen's club and HIV
I was at the gentlemen's club with a friend. The friend went for a VIP session that includes contacts/touching the dancer. When he came back, he handed his phone with his hands to me to go use the washroom. When I held the phone, I felt something wet on my fingers from the phone and I did NOT wash my hands right away . I am nervous since he may have touched some fluids (including sweat and other fluids) of the dancer, which through his hand got on the phone that he handed to me. Given I felt smething wet, scares me a lot. Please let me know if any or zero risk of HIV in this manner? Thanks in advance.
Thank you Lizzie and getitrigjht77 for a quick answer. Even though fluid from his hand got on the phone, which instantly I held and got on my hand (that I didn't stupidly wash), there is zero risk? For my knowledge, can the HIV virus not survive even a second once exposed to air, e.g., hand and then phone in this case? Thanks bunch!
Hiv is not transmitted via fomites like phones or door handles,etc,also the hiv virus becomes inactive once exposed to air and therefore is unable to infect you.This was a zero risk situation for hiv transmission.
hiv is not transmitted through environmenta surfaces or inanimate objects due to the fact that it becomes inactive once exposed to the elements.
