Can HIV Be Contracted Through Contact Of Cut Finger With Bodily Fluids?

default
Posted on Tue, 22 Mar 2016
Question: Doc ,

How likely is it to get hiv from hiv positive prostitute
From a little cut on my finger .

Basically here is a quick recap of my event.
I was having unprotected oral and protected vaginal
Sex with a woman of unknown status from south Korea.

After sex , i left and maybe 30-60 minutes later i noticed a fairly fresh cut right on my index finger.
Looked like a paper cut maybe 5 mm in length.
I used this finger for fingering the young lady for good
2-5 minutes .

Quite honestly i have no idea how this happened
And certainly i am hopping it happened after sex .

But let say i used my cut finger to finger her and she is hiv positive , i know if I had my penis inserted instead of my finger chances would be quite small
1 in 1000 or so .

Since it was a cut finger what are the chances of contracting hiv ?

Brief Answer:
The chances of getting HIV through cut finger are also not so high.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM.

You had unprotected oral and protected vaginal sex with some protitude so first of all you have to confirm whether she was HIV positive or not.

If she is positive and your cut finger come in direct contact with her vaginal fluid during fingering then the chances of getting HIV are there but not so high as in unprotected insertive sex.

The best way to confirm whether you are positive or not is to get tested for HIV. So I will advice you to just calm down and go for testing with hope for the best. Don't get so much tensed or worried.

Having multiple sexual partners is very high risk for HIV so as your friend I will always suggest you for monogemous relationship and stay away from such unsafe sexual practices to prevent the future risk of HIV and other STDs.

Thank You
