HELP ME!! PLEASE REPLY!
i am becoming crazy...i cannot sleep since my exposure to a sex worker about 3 weeks ago... although my risk was little; my mind cannot stop all the anxiety.
my exposure was this, i was on a trip (about a month ago) and i fingered a sexual worker for about 30 sec... suddenly i realized that i had a tiny cut in my right thumb (which i made like 3 hours before the exposure) 20 minutes after i put on some alcohol to disinfect the wound and it hurt, the cut was slightly deep but i'm sure it was not bleeding during the time which i exposed myself...
1) is there any reported cases about someone getting HIV this way?
2) if i take a PCR-DNA test (28 post exposure) the results will be definitive?
3) is it possible to catch HIV this way?

It's not even theoretically possible, cut or no cut.
sorry to bother you teak, but the scenario of catching HIV this way is theoretically possible? i mean... my cut came in contact with vaginal fluids...
