hiv transmission

had unprotected oral sex with a sex worker  where i was insertive partner. she was receptive. it must not have happened for more than two minutes. immediately after two minutes i withdrew and masterbated outside. i dont know about any state of her mouth but my penis didnt have any cut or sore. what is risk involved of transmission of hiv if she happens to be positive which she denied being of. My second question is regarding blood.  I was in a bar where there were too many prostitutes. As i was not interested in them, they were approaching me sitting next to me. I was touching their thighs, legs and waist. after few minutes when they had gone i saw blood on my two three fingers. i just rubbed my hand i didnt wash it. i have pimples and scratches on my body. i always have habit of touching them. definitely once i had rubbed my fingers with blood,it dried. what is risk of transmission of hiv in this scenario.not had any symptoms since then except tightening of throat and gas formation in esouphagus. kindly reply and advise

no risk...you cant get hiv through oral sex
and you cant get hiv by the second method u suggested as the virus ,if presnt, gets deactivated shortly after exposure to air

The virus doesn't stay active in air at all. 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.

Oral sex remains to be ZERO risk and one of the factors why you cannot have HIV from Oral is the Saliva. Saliva is a sterile fluid which means free from all germs / virus making the receptive partner free from HIV risk. For person giving oral sex, Saliva has powerful substances / enzymes that makes the virus in.active.

Once infected genital secretions / blood is  expose in the air it becomes in.active. air and temperature makes the virus in.active. Please take note that transmission of HIV virus is not as easy as 1,2,3. Once the virus is outside the host it becomes WEAK and IN.ACTIVE making it unable to infect and penetrate.

but as she was drinking beer and smoking weeds. so her mouth would be dry. there may be chances of cut in her mouth. how does that compensate for saliva. coz some says one should not have alcohol 2 hrs prior to giving oral sex and smoking weeds damage mouth cells

Mouth and saliva are two different things. Eventhough you feel your mouth is dry there is still saliva in it. In short you cannot have mouth without saliva.

i want to be damn sure that i have not been transmitted with the methods in my previous post. coz i m married and it will injustice to pass it on to my wife . i have not been with her since the incident. I am at such a god forsaken place that there is no testing centre. sometimes i do encourage myself that if it happens , i will have to live with it and face all situations but not going to transmit to anyone else. but suddenly panic & fear strikes me and i get disturbed. it so happens that any complications i start relating with hiv. i am sharing all this with you guys coz it makes me feel light. i have not spoken to anyone about this. are you guys 200% sure that hiv can not be transmitted as i have mentioned in my first post. please advise me,should i go for tests. how much time it takes to give the result when it is tested. any one from india can guide me test centres in delhi which can give the test results immediately .

As told above MANY times you NEVER had a risk, No Risk = No Testing

There is nothing more we can do for you on this forum other than tell you that you had NO RISK and you are fine.
