Fingering question

[jon431]

I recently too part in mutual masturbation with a male of unkown status. He fingered my anus and I did not if he had pre cum on his fingers. He did not ejaculate. I have read this is no risk on this site but other sites tell differently so I was curious. Thank you.

[jon431]

So you would think testing unnecessary?

[jon431]

Ok thank you I was just looking for reassurance and you gave me it thanks alot

That's exactly the sort of thing I meant by "Even if one can envision a theoretical risk from fingering, in the 30 years of the known worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic."  Do you imagine you're the first person involved in fingering with sexual secretions on the fingers?  Theoretical risk?  Sure.  Known to have happened?  No.

So even if there may be pre cum on the fingers it's still not a risk?

[jon431]

Ok thank you. I guess the idea of a
possibility of pre cum on his fingers freaked me out. He at no point in time ejaculated. Thank you for your answer

[jon431]

I'm sorry I meant to say I did not know if it was on his fingers and if this was a risk for infection for me

[H. Hunter Handsfield, M.D.]

You already know what I'm going to say, as indicated by "I have read this is no risk on this site".  Did you think I or Dr. Hook would change our minds for your particular question?  Even if one can envision a theoretical risk from fingering, in the 30 years of the known worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic, nobody is known to have been infected by hand-genital or hand-anal contact.
