can HIV get through a jock rash?
Hi all, I have a very straigth forward question as I have been anxious for quite some time about it. Can a man contract HIV from a woman through an itchy rash? Sounds strange I know, But I had a rash that was constantly itchy, there was never bleeding, but the skin was irritated and sometimes a little cracked at my upper inner thigh and groin area, jock rash, I had sex with a girl and I was wondering, in the off chance that some of her fluid got on this area, and IF she had HIV, could it wnter my body this way?
Your ideas would be very much appreciated...Thanks...

jock itch / rash has NEVER been shown to allow hiv into the BLOODSTREAM.
transmission takes place INSIDE the body...when a penis is inside a vagina / anus.
