If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
As Teak said masterbation (masturbation) is not a risk no matter what you try to introduce into the situation. It is not a risk because that is not how HIV is transmitted.
His background is extensive knowledge of HIV. If you want a Dr's opinion then post in the experts form.
I know fingering/masturbation is not an issue in and of itself. What I am concerned about is the issue of the cut I created when I was too paranoid and scraped under my fingernails (see original post). Did I create an entry point? This would have been several minutes after fingering her and also after I washed my hands.
I suppose in the back of my mind there is a remote chance that I could have had the original small cut under my nail while fingering her... but I doubt it... I am almost positive i created this small cut under my nail while cleaning under my nail with fingernails of the opposite hand.
I am also very anxious at the moment.... so now I am experiencing dry mouth and wondering if this is onset of HIV (The incident occured 3 days ago).
What about the blood issue I mentioned in my post? Non issue and if so why? I am sorry to ask so directly -- but what is your background as well?
Thank you so much
