Please assess my risk..

Hi Guys,

I have following scenario. Please assess my risk..

Last Saturday I visited a csw and I used condom for vaginal sex. However I fingered her with hangnail in one of my fingers.It was not bleeding at all but it was paining.

1. What is the risk from this fingering ?
2. Is there any chance that my hangnail will be significant path for HIV ?

Please dont hesitate to there is a risk if there is smallest risk involved.....please.

hiv can only infect a very few, very specific types of cells. these cells are not found in your finger. if you had a cut on your finger larger enough, open enough and bleeding enough to be a real pathway to cells that hiv CAN infect, believe me, you wouldn't be sticking it into some woman's vagina.

NO ONE has ever been infected from the act of fingering...

If you are planning to get married then you should take some tests including hiv. The sexual behaviour that you described it was completely safe as you have been answered THREE TIMES!!!

Fingering is not a risk, doesn't matter if you have cuts, nicks, abrasions or you just
pulled a hangnail.

Forgot to mention that while fingering, the fingernail started bleeding..I noticed that after 2 minutes...So if you consider that, it is an open wound and I am afraid that her vaginal fluid has come into contact with my fingernail and infected me..please answer me..
