Paper cut question
actually asked by a friend of mine...
is there a risk of hiv transmission here:
guy goes to CSW, has protected sex but uses his thumb and forefinger to take intact condom off, right? now he had a paper cut on his thumb four days before. I saw the cut and it's dry with scab, surrounding area not even red. I asked if it stung as it hit water or alcohol or soap and he said no.
Now I told him hiv transmission is unlikely but he insists I ask here. Heck, why he doesn't go online and ask himself I have no idea...
But anyway what do you think?

Oh I said little risk, you said no risk...
Right the wound was closed by that time...
Thanks!
