worried for my little son

My little son was playing with other kids yesterday in a public park. One child cut himself with blood that needed stitches later I've been told. My 3yrs son was playing with this child when he cut himself. I was there and I saw my son with two fingers in his mouth while watching the boy crying. He does that when he is sad. I almost certain that he touched the boy's fresh blood before putting his fingers in his mouth. I'm terrified now. I saw the other child mum and she may look like a drug user.
Do you think my little son could have been infected by touching the fresh blood with his fingers and few seconds later put them in his mouth?
Please answer me I'm desperate and worried for my little boy. thanks

Don't know what you are talking about. Anyway I was hoping to get just a final answer. Do I need to test or can I just move on completely since what you say semen in mouth is not a risk. Thanks a lot anyway

I believe you have posted under a different name based on these words, "all INDIRECT contacts" I remember this from a post from maybe 1 week ago under a different name. You have been reported for using different medhelp ID's

Hi, again my situations seemed a what if question. However as it seems like my worry is often due to situations where there is potential blood or potential infected semen in mouth, can I be sure that these sort of contacts are NOT A RISK situation? On top of what said about saliva deactivating the virus is it also due to the fact that these are all INDIRECT contacts? Should be the virus deactivated already once it touch the finger? Many thanks and sorry for my bad english, it is not my first language. Can I move on from these situations completely and leave them behind me? thanks

We don't deal with "what if" because I could give you 100 different "what if" situations based on above.

Also as you were told on your other thread saliva as enzymes that deactivate the virus and you need more then a little of any fluid to pose a risk.

I hope he didn't but what about if he did? maybe by mistake, what about if he had some blood in his mouth? sorry I know he seems silly but I had a rough time recently, all things happened at once

After reading your other question I find this very hard to believe. You mastebated a guy and then stick your fingers in your mouth. Now your son touched a cut and put his fingers in his mouth.

A 3 year old (as I have one myself) would not touch blood from a cut and then put his/her fingers in her mouth. I highly doubt that he would even touch the cut.
