Crazy question for Teak or Lizzylou regarding mutual masturbation
I know this will sound ridiculous but I just need some reassurance.
I recently participated in mutual masturbation with another male.
Several hours later as I was getting in the shower I noticed what appeared to be a splinter or hair or something on the underside of my penis. I have absolutely no idea how it got there. It didn't hurt. I didn't notice it at all until the shower. It was just barely under the skin and when I removed it there was a very small amount of blood like you would see anywhere you remove a splinter.
I have read many times on this forum that mutual masturbation is low to zero risk according to the doctors on the expert forum.
My question is if the splinter somehow entered my skin during masturbation and had any bodily fluids on it would that put me at risk?
My thinking is that it would not be a risk as there was no visible blood at the time of the masturbation and anything in any bodily fluids would have died when it hit the air or in the process of any touching.

Thanks so much for responding. So no risk? I appreciate you all for helping me reason through this!
Thankyou so much for your time in responding to me. I really do appreciate it. I was thinking along the same lines as what you said but I just needed a little reassurance. My concern wasn't so much abt blood as it was the other person's precum. Either way I guess the air would kill the virus?
The part that concerned me was the splinter being similar to a needle in some ways? But an injection needle would be hollow and protect the virus from air right?

Lastly I would say it's probably just a small cut or even a burst blood vessel from the friction. It still changes nothing though, no risk from this incident
The HIV virus cannot survive outside the human body. If blood had somehow got on the splinter, an unlikely situation, and somehow that blood was from an hiv positive person, another unlikely situation, the virus would have died after being exposed to air and would not have been able to infect you.
You didn't have any risk for this incident and don't need to test for this incident. Move on and don't let it worry you, anxiety can play absolute havoc with your health.
