HIV vaginal secretions

Hi people! I have seen a couple of HIV via nose questions on this awsome forum but i want to get my situation out. About 3.5 months ago i had protected sex with a sex worker. Now i have this really bad habbit of picking my nose for no reason. Every time i pick my right nostril it always starts too bleed. Not the bleeding type when you get punched its not coming out, only if i put my finger in and take it out then there is blood on my finger so i think that my moucus membranes are fairly damaged. So during and after sex i always kept on touching the condom to check if its still intact. After we were done i pulled the condom off and layed  down to rest and then picked my right nostril and it started to bleed again. At that time i did not think about possible HIV exposure. So this is my question, did i expose myself to HIV during this incident? The time between i last touched my condom and picked my nose was like under a minute.

You are not listening and 11 weeks and 3 days would be conclusive if you had a risk which you never did.Time to move along now.

Are you not reading the replies you've been given? You didn't have an exposure and you don't need testing.

Anyone? Please this is my last question was the 11 weeks and 3 days negative enough or do i need a 6 month test? The doctor recommended to take the 6 month test. But i am too afraid that it will change to positive.

Hmm.. why do other forums say that this is a risky situtation? Maybe they are not educated in HIV? I really don't know who to trust :(. I had a test done at 11 weeks and 2 days or something like that and it was negative. But my doctor says it is recommened to get another one at 6 months. So i have this crazy fear that i might end up positive at my 6 months test.

Finally an anwser. Thank you. Not a risk even if i got vaginal secretions from the condom into my nose that was bleeding at the same time? I read some forums which say that blood or semen or vaginal fluids on moucus membranes are risky. The inside of a nose are all moucus membranes. And mine were bleeding. Still no risk?

Not a risk, HIV is not transmitted by picking your nose.
