Last post ever. Please just answer and explain. Preferably Vance answer

How can blood that has left the body, and touched an hsv2 sore on my lip not infect? Is this still not even a risk or exposure?

You cannot delete your account.  If you have questions regarding your account, the proper thing to do is to contact MH (with this link):

http://www.medhelp.org/contactus.htm

The forums are not the place to ask that.

Please move along now....you continue to post excessively about the same thing over and over, which isn't fair to the people looking to get their issue addressed.

Here's what I wrote in your other thread:

"What you don't understand about HIV is that it is hard to transmit. Large amounts of virus (not just one or two virus particles) need to be directly exposed to susceptible cells, typically deep inside the body. Just any cell or body part won't do. Even with unprotected vaginal sex, with HIV-loaded semen deposited in the vagina, the average transmission risk for the femal partner is once for every 1,000 exposures. That's why many spouses of infected persons never catch HIV themselves (which you might not have known).  The kinds of exposure are worried about simply cannot involve enough virus exposure to the right kind of cells."

It's really frustrating to spend several minutes to construct a factcual, science based answer intended to resolve your anxieties, then have you ignore it or not believe it. Suck it up and move on.

And please stop asking the same questions in multiple threads. It's very tiresome, especially when you won't listen.

So it is impossible, and I do not need testing, even if it had contact with the hsv2 sore? If the answer is yes I will seek professional mental help

The HIV virus becomes inactive as soon as it leaves the host, this is why it will not infect.
