HIV exposure with open wound on my hand
Hello Teak,
I had a wound on my palm and was applying cortisone cream. I met a call girl and was rubbing her with my palm on her underwear. My palm had an open wound (it was not actively bleeding) but i could see the red as i had scratched it in the evening.
What is my risk of HIV if her vaginal fluid came from incontact with my wound and was rubbing it.
I am very worried. please help.

Yes the answer is the same. HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
Thank you Teak. Just one clarification, when i pressed the wound (10 minutes after the incident) i has some blood come out from the palm, is your answer still the same. Am i correct in saying sweat does not contain HIV?
