fingering

Hi im very worried, i was on a massage and the girl was lying naked with me, no sex. But her finger accidentally touched around my anus, only outside. And i think she had vaginal secretions on her finger. I think her finger where some secounds in the air before she touched me. Thanks

Your stressing over nothing. You had no HIV risk from what you said happened.

Here is some info for you from the CDC

"Incorrect interpretation of conclusions drawn from laboratory studies have alarmed people unnecessarily. Results from laboratory studies should not be used to determine specific personal risk of infection because 1) the amount of virus studied is not found in human specimens or anyplace else in nature, and 2) no one has been identified with HIV due to contact with an environmental surface; Additionally, since 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, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host."

HIV needs a host cell to survive, and that is found inside the body, not outside the body. Once the virus is exposed to air, it loses its ability to infect

thank you i believe you. but how can other medical pages  write that HIV can survive for a few seconds outside the body? They mean it can survive but its not contagious then?

You had no risk for HIV from her finger, the virus is inactive when exposed to air and will not infect from the outside of your anus, or even if her finger entered.
