Sex with a prostitute with a hangnail

Sex with a prostitute with a hangnail

Hi,

I recently had sex with a prostitute in Soho, London. Both oral and vaginal sex were protected with no complications - the condom remained intact throughout. Immediately after vaginal intercourse, I removed the condom and threw it away. Later, I noticed that I had a bad hangnail on my forefinger that had mostly scabbed over, but was still fairly tender and fresh. Is it possible that I could contract HIV if the hangnail came in contact with the vaginal secretions on the condom?

I've seen quite a lot of conflicting info. Can anyone help?

You can't contact HIV from a hangnail or my by touching a condom.

Thanks for the clarification. I still think I'll get tested at 28 days. Hopefully I can then put the anxiety to bed.

Just to update you, my anxiety is spinning out of control. I'm now two weeks post exposure and I swear I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck and I have pins and needles in my hands and feet.

I'm starting to question the security of the condom. Is it possible there was a tiny hole or something?

please visit the anxiety forum here.  you do NOT have a hiv concern and there's nothing more that we can do for you.

Condoms don't have "little holes" in them. If your condom failed, Mr. Johnson would have been dancing in a frayed hula-hoop (very obvious)
