Hi%E2%80%A6can You Get Hiv If Your Genitals Touch A Female
Question: hi%E2%80%A6can you get hiv if your genitals touch a female lesion during a massage? To be more accurate if penis head for instance touched open leasion of female
Brief Answer:
No, if penis head just touches an open female lesion, HIV can't get transmi
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thank you for choosing healthcare magic. The answer to your question is no. Just by touching HIV can't get transmitted. The infective body fluid either blood or semen must be injected into the body either by sexual penetration or as a shot. If an infected person's penis head is ejaculating into the vagina of a female then HIV gets transmitted. It also gets transmitted by blood transfusion. In the question you mentioned female lesion....I couldn't get what you meant by lesion. In medical terms lesion is a wound or a small lump or a papule. If an infected person's penis head with ejaculate on it touches an open wound of female, there are chances of transmission. Hope I have answered your question. Please let me know if I can assist you further. Thank you. Take care.

Brief Answer:
There is very minimal theoretical risk of transmission but practically no
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
From your question now I understand that the female has a genital sore with oozing some bloody or serious discharge. When the penis head touches such wound, there is very minimal risk of HIV transmission theoretically. It depends upon the following factors :
1)amount of infective fluid exposed
2) duration of exposure
3) amplitude of viral titre in blood or the viral load of infectious person.
Most of the times, if you wash away immediately after exposure there is no chance of transmission.
Hope I have made my explanation clear. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
Thank you. Take care.
