it should also be noted that this was in the Guyana in Caribbean, 2nd highest hiv risk in that part of the world i think.
So i guess it no exposure. no risk?
a bit i forgot to mention, I was circumcised this February and but around the scar line, the inner foreskin hasn't quite adapted (grown thicker) as yet. I read that this inner foreskin is filled with Langerhans cells.. the HIV receptors. Am I wrong for being concerned that while masturbating with the vaginal fluids on my fingers, that I could have been infected via the inner foreskin?
Still no risk. HIV is not transmitted by masturbation.
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
Thank you, I have no further questions but request this thread not be locked as I would like to post my 6 and 12 Week results.
You have no reason to post further. You didn't have a risk and there is nothing further to discuss.
