Nobody ever got HIV from such an exposure.  No chance.  Don't worry about it.

No further discussion, please.

Anyways thank you jugar
I hope to here form the doctor maybe my language is not that good
I will make the question as simple as this

Performing a massage to somebody who is HIV positive
The one who doing the massage has very small cut in his finger
I did not see any visible cut in her body

My question is what if there is a very tiny cut on her body
And I touch her with that finger with is cut could that cause infect me or not

Sorry again for the poor language
Does the ignoring of the question by the doctor mean that there is no risk at all?

For CRYING OUT LOUD!!?!!? Did you even read this article? I will let this slide because your English indicates you are from a foregin (non-US) country where it seems they are more ignorant about this disease. Dude, it says that protection should be considered for the HIV+'s persons sake as they are more suseptible to disease, germs, etc. Frankly, I feel you are being extremely disrespectful to your ex girlfriend (someone who has far more to worry about than yourself).

Anyways, zero risk whatsoever. Get tested if you want.
