possible hiv risk

possible hiv risk

About a month ago i engaged in protected sex with a girl of unknown hiv status, before we had sex i fingered her for about ten minutes not knowing that i had a hangnail, in the morning it was red but looked as if it had not bleed at all, just a little sore, then i received unprotected oral, was wondering if i was at risk of catching hiv from this?

No you weren't at risk. You do not contract HIV from fingering. Not even with cuts, abrasions, nicks, hangnails or warts.

it took me about 30 seconds to use the search feature and pull up a response from teak on fingering.  

kindly move on...you do NOT have a hiv concern.

THAT IS INCORRECT INFORMATION.  HIV IS NOT TRANSMITTED THROUGH ORAL SEX.

ALL THE LATEST STUDIES DONE...PROVE THAT ORAL SEX IS NOT A RISK.

1/10000 = very low risk?

NO RISK

To: REICO
There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex.  The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way.  Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk".  There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex.  Please educate yourself about the real risks.  If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. "   DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..."   DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?  
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA
