One more quick question, do you think that a cut on finger would be more risky/ the same risk as a damaged/infected/torn cuticle for HIV transmission or are they both fairly miniscule?
This was my first and only sexual contact (excluding kissing) and I'm confident that the girl in question hasn't got HIv but sometimes when I think of the rash I worry but I think I'll be ok......
That has made me feel a bit better. Thank you all for your help.
OK Teak. What is your opinion on the rash though? Also would HIV and/or some abnormalities show up on FBC?
You never had a risk of contracting HIV.
Doctors put this down to some kind of allegric reaction and I have TWO full blood counts that came back perfect, is this a good indicator? I would, as always appreciate any help!
I did develop a skin rash on my back 6 weeks after this. Does this shed any new light on this situation in your opinion???
Thanks kumar! Im beginning to feel a bit better now!
yes you are just hysterical over this..dont worry..move on :)
Ok vance. Maybe I'm just over reacting espically as it was my first time engage in any such activity?
Well I said that the cut would require stitches I don't know how your situation would change my assestment.
No risk? I was just wondering if this would change the situation in any way
What do you think? What have I already told you?
On further diagnosis it was more of an opening at my cuticle from an almost healed infected finger?not really a cut. Does this put me at more/less risk?
Thank you I appriecate your help! I just wanted to ask a few extra questions to be well educated about the risks etc.
I had a feeling that you would be back...I would recommend seeing a therapist to help you with anxiety. You had no risk as you have alreasy been told.
Would you recomend testing?
Well mine was not that large in any case thank you
