Hi Doctor,
Yesterday I noticed some white-discharge/fluid on the top of my eye-lid. I stupidly rubbed it off with my finger and some of it came into contact with the corner of my left eye via the rubbing motion. It immediately began to sting and became irritated. To try and alleviate this, I wet a scrunched up ball of tissue paper and gently rubbed the the eyelid/corner of my open eye with it but this only seemed to make it worse. I did not rub vigorously or allow much water/moisture from the tissue to enter my eye as I was wearing a contact lens and did not want to have to take it out.
I'm not entirely sure how I got this onto my eye. I was at a girl's house and had been intimate [making out/fingering] and may have rubbed my eye in the process or perhaps it came directly from her. Irrespective, could you assess my hypothetical risk if this had indeed been vaginal discharge or some kind of sexual fluid. I've been reading a lot of other posts related to the 'theoretical' ocular exposure, and one of the most common mechanisms the Doctors here suggest is the blink reflex - but since I essentially, rather stupidly, managed to rub this into my eye, the blink reflex mechanism would have been redundant.
I should not, that my today the site of exposure on my eye is still rather irritated and tender.
Thanks
