Transmission outside of the body
I have dated an HIV positive man -- we did not have unprotected anal sex and I did not perform oral sex on him, but have had a scare. On one occassion after he ejaculated, he wiped himself clean with a tissue and i picked up the tissue moments later not realising that it was the one he had used. I had a cut on my finger which was about a day old. I dont know if there was direct contact between the tissue and the wound. I am now waiting for the time to get tested but in the meantime, what level if risk have I been exposed to?
