Brief Answer:
HIV transmission unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query.
I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic.
I have gone through the details and can make out your anxiety.
The risk of transmission of HIV by the mode described is least . If there were no open/ bleeding wound the chances are nil.
Skin is an effective barrier.
PEP can prevent transmission of HIV if taken within 72 hours of exposure.
Anyway you can go for HIV tests at this time to relieve your anxiety irrespective of PEP.
You can go for HIV1&2 RNA PCR and/or HIV combo test (detects both antigen and antibody)at this stage.
The symptoms are not specific to HIV.it can be due to any respiratory infection.
You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply Doctor.
If the eczema on my back where he put the semen was open and bleeding because a lot of the time my eczema bleeds, is this a high risk ? i heard there must be a lot of blood and the wound has to be very open for transmission to happen?

Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
The chances of eczema causing bleeding is less.They are pin point bleeding and do heal fast too. There will be crusting too.The chances of transmission is least.
For HIV transmission there need not be full bleeding, there needs to be place of entry like open wound ,abrasion ,ulcer.

Brief Answer:
Bleeding and open wound can transmit HIV
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
You had asked question of lots of bleeding, I replied it ad full bleeding. I am sorry if you have interpreted in any other manner.
The meaning is there need not always be bleeding wound to transmit HIV, even abrasions, open wound or ulcer too can transmit HIV.
