I posted the following question in the wrong forum yesterday and got a response but was told I couldn't follow-up, but I had a follow-up so I'm posting here.
(I engaged in mutual masturbation with another man and got a small amount of pre-ejaculate on my right hand. At least 10 minutes later (probably around 15 min later) I used that hand to pick a hangnail on my left It is possible the hangnail could've bled slightly, although if it did, it was an extremely small quantity of blood. The pre-ejaculate on my right hand was out in the open air for 10-15 minutes before I used it to pick the hangnail on my other hand.)
Since the response addressed mutual masturbation, I wanted to clarify one or two items because the response said that although HIV had never been transmitted from masturbation, I thought it left a theoretical risk out there.
The pre-ejaculate on the right hand came from touching his damp underwear while he wore it and not the source itself. So, I rubbed damp underwear, and then 10-15 min later, after driving home, picked a hangnail on my other hand with the hand that had been contact with the underwear. I suppose at this time it's more of an environmental risk than a sexual one. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but is indirect transmission from underwear and then another hand impossible after several min of air exposure? I understand this uses up my forum privledges for 6 months,
