fingered

Dr. Hook,

still regarding being fingered, I have just found out that I have hemorroids (stage 1). Perhaps, that is why it bled after being fingered (with pre-cum on the fingered). Would it not be a route of transmission (or at least make it easier)?

Thanks,

There will be no further questions. Thanks for everything. The anxiety is terrible thing. But it is quite difficult to get rid of it.

This is a repetitive question, as well as your thir question in less than a month, not to mention your other, similarly questions on other MedHelp sites.  Repeating the question will not change the advice that you get from any of us- the exposure you are so concerned about did not put you at risk for HIV.  Hemorrhoids can be a source of rectal bleeding. There are no data to suggest however that there is increased risk for HIV from hemorrhoids.

HIV is not transmitted by masturbation

Your risk remains zero.  

There will be no further answers.  Additional, anxiety driven questions will be deleted without comment.  EWH
