At risk for HIV by being fingered?
I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I suffer from high anxiety and depression and I am not sure if I am at a real risk or my brain is just making this into something more than it is. A few days ago I was making out with a man I have been dating and he was fingering me. It then led to protected intercourse but when we turned the lights on we saw that his left ring finger was bleeding quite profusely. The blood had gotten on my shirt but as far as I could tell upon examination there was none near my genitals. He told me that he did not put the bleeding finger inside me and that he had been tested last month at his yearly physical for hiv so I had nothing to worry about. But my extreme fear of hiv and death makes me wonder what if that finger did go inside of me? So, my question is if that bleeding finger did go inside me and he was hiv positive how big is the risk of infection and should I get tested in 6 weeks? Thank you.

In the 30 years of Hiv/Aids,no one has ever contracted the disease from fingering or being fingered.There are no recorded cases of it ever happeneing,for this reason you have to be satisfied that you had no risk.
