open cut. what are my risk?
i have a fresh cut on my scrotum..about 0.5com long from shaving. i had protected sex but her vaginal fluid for sure came in contact with my wound that was slightly bleeding. what are the chances of me catching something?
and also. we masturbated each other without condom. she fingered herself then gave me a handjob without a condom. so her fluids were on my penis. can i get hiv from this?
any help would be appreciated. i am worried sick...

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 abusers
Mother to child

because like I said transmission takes place inside the body when your unprotected penis is in her vagina or anus.
why is it more risky to have pentetrative sex. than having her fluid touch an open wound?
so if i have NO cuts and had unprotected sex i would b at higher risk than having protected sex but having her fluid on my open cut?

HIV is transmitted from having unprotected penetrative vaginal or anal sex--sharing IV drug works--needlestick injuries in healthcare settings and infected mother to baby--that's all.
sorry im not sure how all this works.
if you dont mind. can you explain how exactly is hiv transmitted?

How can it enter the bloodstream when transmission has to take place inside the body not outside it.
eventhough her vaginal fluid had contact with my fresh wound? cant the virus enter my bloodstream. and its only exposed to air for 2 seconds
No risk--HIV becomes inactive and unable to infect you once exposed to air.

Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
