3 day old splinter still in hand
Hello, I had a risk question. I had a very small splinter in my finger, it didn't hurt and it didn't bleed. I didn't bother to try to remove it because it was too small and I figured it would work its way out. A few days later, I had gone to a strip club and had a lap dance. The dancer's private parts were covered in clothing. Was there any potential risk of transmission through where my splinter was on my finger? I had touched her breasts and buttocks. Thank you
No, and you have never read about anyone with a cut anywhere getting HIV despite everyone including children getting lots of cuts every year and brushing against someone else's.
