Torn hang nail and blood!...

Torn hang nail and blood!...

I was biting my fingers at a strip club and torn a hangnail and saw blood and it hurted. Then I went for a lap dance and WITHOUT THINKING I fingered the girl slightly. Could her fluids enter my bloodstream? OMG What have I done...

OMG...IT HURTED?

trivial cuts, scrapes, and HANGNAILS simply do not create a situation for hiv transmission.

OK - I feel better now.
But couldn't the fluids/virus though my bloodstream through that opening?

This is a bit confusing.
Why not? There's a hole and little bit of blood. Could you lightly elaborate?
A 1000000 Thanks!!!!!

FROM THE MOUTH OF DR HANSFIELD:

"HIV isn't so easily transmitted.  Minor cuts and trivial blood exposures simply don't create a measurable risk.  Like many persons, you seem to think that "just one virus" is enough to transmit the infection.  That is not the case.  Substantial amounts of infected blood or secretions have to be introduced into the body in a way that exposes certain cells to the virus.  If HIV could be transmitted in the ways you are worrying about, AIDS would be 100 times more common than it is.

now.     MOVE ON.
