Prostrate Fingering - Female to Male

Good day Doctors and Health pro's

Apologies for the double post.

Is there ANY CHANCE of HIV being transmitted by a woman (presuming she is HIV+) fingering a man's anus?

I understand from the other threads that HIV can be transmitted through  Anal or Vaginal intercourse.

- lets suppose the woman had a cut on her hand and my anus had a cut as well. How much blood transfusion has to happen for HIV to happen?

Again I apologize for the double post.


Regards,

DT.

No I did not notice any cuts or abrasions on her fingers. She was certainly not bleeding profusely ( I gave it as a hypothetical example above).

- Does it matter if she was bleeding profusely or just bleeding?

- Assuming she is HIV+ ....HIV is in her blood regardless. And if my anus had an existing wound or unhealed fissure that became aggravated then isn't it, in theory at least, possible for HIV transmission to take place.

Please don't suspend me I am only trying to learn.

I said that was going to be my last post.....

But i found this;

from Avert.org - Question; Does Fingering during Sex carry a risk of HIV transmission?

Their answer - "Inserting a finger into someone's anus or vagina would only be an HIV risk if the finger had cuts or sores on it and if there was direct contact with HIV infected blood, vaginal fluids or semen from the other person. There might also be a risk if the person doing the fingering had HIV and their finger was bleeding."

- thebody states that even a drop of blood is enough to infect someone with HIV - and that is supposing the infected person's 'drop of blood' contained a lot of the HIV virus.


I don't know why this HIV thing is constantly on my mind
(even considering my 'sexual event' is considered Negligible/No Risk) but I just can't seem to let it go. I wasn't always like this..

that does make sense.

so if she had a small wound on her finger and it was aggravated by fingering my anus because of friction (i usually refuse lube because of STD paranoia) - and thus blood-blood contact happened  .

- can this cause HIV transmission?

- THIS WILL BE MY LAST POST!

If she was bleeding profusely she would be at the ER getting treated not putting her fingers in your anus.

I appreciate your response but I just want some further clarification. Supposing the following happened;


1) The Sex worker had a large cut on her hand and was bleeding profusely while fingering my anus.

2) presuming my anus had a cut and was bleeding as well.

3) and also presuming the sex worker was HIV+

- Am I still at -------- NO RISK!

Sorry for the post.........This will be my last post on this....I swear.

When people say HIV can be transmitted by Anal Penetration does it ONLY mean Penile insertion?
