questionable vaginal exposure to cut
Hello, yesterday I was at a massage parlor and about 30 minutes before I went, I cut my finger on a jammed door. The bleeding stopped ad i did not bandage it. Durring the massage I rubbed the outside of woman's panties (with the noninjured hand) fairly vigorously, and pushed my finger into her vaginal area, but again on the outside of her panties. I never intserted my finger. Anyways, about 3-5 minutes after the massage I was getiing in the shower and I accidentally touched the fresh cut on my right hand with the finger i'd massaged her vulva with (again staying on the outside of her panties.) I quickly washed out the cut with soap and water. Do i need to get a test, is there any risk of infection at all? My finger may have come into contact with a small amount of vaginal fluid but i do not know, then touched the cut 5 minutes later and immediately washed.
Yes,if there was HIV in the vaginal secretions,it would have become inactive from the air it was exposed to.You had no risk.
Even if a small amount a vaginal secretion got on my finger and I touched the fresh cut a few moments later?
HIV transmission occurs inside the body not outside it,you never had a risk and no testing is required.
