Is STD Possible Due To The Cut Finger?
Hi Doctor I have a concern in mind. 4 days back, I had a small cut on my finger at around 2 o clock in the night. after approx. 4 hours of having cut, I fingered a sex worker for around 20-30 seconds. My cut was not bleeding at that time but after 30 seconds I realized it because of the small pain in that cut. How much risky it could be for me?

Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
You have nothing to worry about HIV from particular contact. For HIV to enter through a wound it should be fresh and actively bleeding.
A wound that is more than 4 hours old has already formed an early scab and HIV cannot get access through it.
You are safe because the cut you sustained was 4 days prior to this particular sexual encounter.
Regards
