I did a massage, and during the massage, I inserted my finger into the anus, does this transmit AIDS? I am afraid that there will be blood inside and touch my finger
The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
You CANNOT get HIV through your finger - even if there was blood on your finger, and even if you had cuts or scrapes on your finger. Getting HIV, sexually, through any body part except your penis is not realistic.
There is no information you could add to this event that would make it a risk for HIV.
I have already advised you that you cannot get HIV through your finger. NO ONE has ever gotten HIV through their finger. A finger does not have a urethra. A penis has a urethra, where HIV can enter the body.
Is it logical that a person is infected with the AIDS virus and does not show any symptoms, they say that it is possible to be infected for ten years without symptoms, is this true or dementia
Around 50-80% of people with new HIV will get initial symptoms akin to a flu. Then it’s entirely symptomless until it weekend your immune symptom enough to cause serious and life threatening illness.
However - your fingering a anus is never a risk for HIV. Your test is 100% conclusive. You literally have no worries (as CurfuwX as explained)
HIV is really not as infective as your making it out to be.
A friend, I know that I am not infected and I suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, but I am married and I am afraid that I have made a mistake for this. I would like to make sure
Well all I can tell you is for sure you have not got HIV.
For the guilt not much I can say really, you made a mistake. It happens. No bad health wil come of this so my advise is to move on and forget about it.
If not you could try therapy or talking to your wife? But please don’t do this for STD/HIV reasons you have done nothing to risk that.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. You are proving you love her by caring this much. Don’t over do it.
I’m sure if you try hard enough google will cause your OCD to go to overdrive. You really don’t need google now, you have the definitive answer from me and Curfuw
Your problem is obsessive compulsive. This is an hiv prevention forum - no one in a forum can help you with OCD.
Seek therapy from a trained professional who deals with OCD.

2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
