Unusual circumstances: Blood from hand to head exposure??
Hello all. From reading in this forum I know that Teak is a usual responder to questions and appears to be very informed on these subjects. I hope to hear from you on this possible exposure Teak.
My apologies if my post appears to be inspired not by reality, but by extreme paranoia.
Here it goes. So I was out tonight at a strip club. I'm not worried about the fact that a dancer masturbated me because I know that HIV does not pass this way no matter what (and i mean it when i say no matter what)... even if there are openings in skin, fluid/blood on hands, HIV has never been transferred by hand to genital contact and I doubt it is even possible.
But anyway, my concern has to do with receiving a massage on back of neck and in the process having my scalp scratched/rubbed. This is not the part that upsets me. The part that upsets me is when I got home an hour or two later I began scratching my scalp where it was touched earlier in night. I was scratching profusely because of psoriasis I have on scalp. I may have slightly broke skin on scalp at this point in time. Again, scalp did not have skin openings during touching at club. When home, I scratched at it and may have broke skin.
So what concerns me is if when my head was touched by stripper, if she had unnoticed cut on hand which bled on to my scalp and then an hour or two later if I scratched at that area and caused minor cut if the possibly HIV infected blood that was on scalp from stripper, probably would be dried by this time but i cant say for sure because of my paranoia, would then be introduced into blood stream thus making it necessary for me to be tested?
THIS IS NOT A JOKE. I seriously would appreciate some comments here.
Thankyou for your patience.

"THIS IS NOT A JOKE"? THEN WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR STORY FROM WHAT YOU POSTED ON THE EXPERT FORUM?
