hiv risk
hello
recently i was with a girl whos hiv status is unknown. we did not have sex but i did penatrate with my fingers. afterwards i noticed a small scratch that must have came from her nail on the bottom part of the head on my penis. it was not bleeding it was just a scratch. it hurt a littel bit but after a day i couldnt even see it so im pretty sure it was just a scratch. im wondering if after i penatrated her with my fingers, if i touched me penis after possibly where the scratch was would there be a chance of infection if so, how much of a risk. it would have been about a minute or half a minute after touching her that i touched my self. any answers would be greatly appreciated.

You never had an exposure.
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; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
