Concern

Hello, Ive posted her a time or two. These questions are kind of random.

1. If you cant get HIV from fingering with a cut on your finger, then how is it possible to get it when you have a cut on your penis?

2. I read here that petechiae is not a indication of HIV, however other online sources relate the condition to such. I get petechiae but a spot or 2 here and there, almost always on my arm.

Again, just random questions.

1. One can get HIV even if his penis did not have a cut on it and penetrated without a protection.  Cut on the finger should be deep enough, large enough and profusely bleeding, only then there is a chance of catching HIV. However this is not a practical situation because in that case, one should be sitting in the emergency room of a clinic, instead of having good time with someone.

2. No it is not true, petechiae can appear due to many more reasons
