Hello doctor,
I been reading post after post and cannot find an answer into this one, i know skin to skin contact is very less likely for hiv to get involve but how about mucous membranes, is it different from skin. This is kind of an embrassing question but i need to ask, i went to washroom and hurt myself from the toilet paper when i need to clean my anal, i feel some burning sensation after cleaning it, i think i may have clean it too hard and scratch myself.... later that day i went and met this guy in the bar, i don't know his hiv status but know he is a playboy, i didn't do any sex contact with him, oral, anal or any kind of sex but we did engage touching each other naked, he did touch inside the anal area which i think i may have hurt myself earlier that day and now i seem worry, i am worry that he may have cut his fingers and may somehow contact the mucous membranes in my anal area....
I know in my case it is very similar to all those massage question but my worry is that the cut is not on my skin but in my anal.
A. Is Mucous memberanes easier to contact hiv than skin?
B. Is mine any different than skin to skin contact.
c. what is my risk but the exposure i describe to you, (if he has a paper cut and somehow touch where i think my anal is cut)
D. Do you recommend me to have any testing?
PS: i am a female.
Thank you doctor
