mutual masturbation

i visted a prostitute a couple of weeks back, had a healing cut on my finger, about a day old, wasnt bleeding even if i applied a great amount of pressure. i rubbed the labia foe about 5seconds then stopped, wiped my finger with a cloth and went home. about twenty minutes after the experience i went on to masturbate myself at home. is there any chance of contracting hiv this way, bear in mind that i did not was my hand.

thank you

You never had an exposure from masturbation cut or no cut.

HIV is transmitted by unprotected penetrative anal or vaginal sex. Sharing works with other IV drug abusers and mother to child. You never had an exposure and you don't need testing.

Symptoms are not reliable in diagnosing HIV, only a test is (when there has been a risk) you have not had a risk, do not need testing and do not need to worry about this further.

In addition your 'symptoms' sound nothing like ARS.

these symtoms seem to be concurrent on all hiv/aids forums how is it that in my case that they are not related?

Blisters are not a sign of HIV and all your other symtpms sound like anxiety.

is it correct to say that no one in the history of the disease has become infected with hiv through mutual masturbation even with the presence of a cut and the exchange of bodily fluid during the event?

Cold sores have nothing to do with HIV.The only thing you are overreacting about is the fact that you think you had a risk when you never did.

YES,I did and you never had a risk,what you engaged in is not a mode of transmission for HIV.There was no unprotected penetrative vaginal or anal sex so how do you think you were at risk exactly?

Your "symptoms mean nothing....you did NOT have a risk, for the last time.  Our answers aren't going to change no matter what new "symptoms" you post.  Time for you to move on, you've been given an assessment.
