Can HIV Be Contracted Through Dry Humping While Genital Are Covered?
Question: How deep must a cut be to be infected with HIV?
Cdc says just a small wound. While other forums talk about large wounds (lacerations)
Situation: Sex worker sat on my shin while in her underwear. Im scared vaginal fluid may enter. (Although no cuts upon inspection of shin)
Im mostly worried about if there were small cuts, abbrasion, nicks etc

Brief Answer:
No risk of HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Zxxxxxxxxxn,
Welcome to HCM.
HIV virus can enter in the body even through small cut or abration but the chances of getting infection through underwear are very unlikely even if the sex worker is infected with HIV so I don't think that you need to worry for that. Be relaxed, forget about the episode and live your life normally as you are safe and risk free.
Thank You

In my opinion there is nothing to be worried about at all but still if you are anxious then either you can take second opinion or consider counseling with the help of good counselor. You are definitely safe and free from HIV so calm down and move on in life. Wishing you very happy and healthy life ahead.
