I engaged in a little fooling around, dry humping or frottage, I think that's what its called, with a lady and she had a bleeding scratch on her backside and I think my penis head came in contact with it. Can HIV be transmitted this way?
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.
