You never had a risk.
Does this risk assessment change if the graze was bleeding
Thank you so much for your help
Yes. You did not and do not have an HIV concern.
Is this despite such close contact
despite a possible open wound and exposure to infected vaginal fluids
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.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
There was no unprotected penetration therefore there was no risk.
