Open wounds contact with sex worker

Hi ppl,

Recently I got scratched very badly by my cat. My wounds were pretty red and it was not bleeding but you can see the flesh. 1-2 hrs after that I walked through an alley and were grabbed by a few sex workers soliciting for business. Unfortunately they grabbed me at my open wounds area. I am now very worried I may contact HIV from this incident if they were HIV +ve and they had open or bleeding wounds on their palms...

What should I do now? Should I go get tested? I am freaking out and anyone know what is my risk level here?

Thanks...

this is actually one post where pu$$y did hurt somebody and not by a sex worker. relax!!!!! if hiv was this easy to catch, everyone that was infected wouldn't be allowed public contact.

you did not have a open, blood gushing wound ! ! ! !

trivial scratches do not create a risk...move on from this.

But if my skin was non-intact in this case, if somehow she were to have a ope wound on her palm with some blood, wouldn't i be at risk? Thanks for answering my first post!

anxiety at it's best ! ! !

first off...prostitutes just dont go walking around with bleeding hands.
secondly...you stated yourself that you did NOT have an open bleeding wound.

sooooooooooooo...what the basis of your questions?  ANXIETY
