HIV through Airline Cut

HIV through Airline Cut

Dear Sir/Madam,

                         I had a fresh cut out of a blade in a finger & its like a thin airline cut only & even though the cut is there the inner skin is not exposed & there was no blood coming out of it.Its a kind of a dry cut i mean to say & i fingered her vagina with the same finger .So is there any chance of HIV getting transmitted through that airline cut?

Pl do confirm

The cut would have healed over and sealed itself and fingering is considered no risk in any event.Your never had an Hiv risk and no testing is required,Your safe.All the best.

FROM THE MOUTH OF DR HANDSFIELD / MEDHELP

"HIV isn't so easily transmitted.  Minor cuts and trivial blood exposures simply don't create a measurable risk.  Like many persons, you seem to think that "just one virus" is enough to transmit the infection.  That is not the case.  Substantial amounts of infected blood or secretions have to be introduced into the body in a way that exposes certain cells to the virus.  If HIV could be transmitted in the ways you are worrying about, AIDS would be 100 times more common than it is.

YOU HAD NO RISK.  no one has ever been infected through the means that you've described.

Thanks Lizzie
I have another doubt after fingering i noticed that, that finger has a peeled off skin near the place where nail joints to the top portion of the skin in the finger & by this any possibility of getting infected.

HIV is not transmitted by fingering even if you have abrasions, small cuts, hangnails or you chew your fingernails back to the quick and make them bleed.

Your symptoms are totally irrelevant as you have not had a risk.  Nobody has ever gotten HIV from fingering not even with a cut, you will  not be the first.

It sounds like you have an everyday cold, nothing more.  

You do not need to be depressed and scared as you have not had a risk.

So even though the cut is made just 2-3 mins prior to the incident & if it comes in contact with the vaginal fluid while fingering it wont infect right?No test is required for this right??As am totally worried, am again re-confirming as the thought & the fear associated with it keeps on disturbing my mind & am not able to concentrate on other activities.I hope you can understand my position.
Pl do confirm.

You cant catch HIV through fingering. Irrespective of the circumstances. As you have been told many times in this thread.
