Can STD Be Transferred Through Skin Cuts?
hello,
I have a cut on the tip of my finger, a little deeper then a paper cut I got it a 4 days ago. Last night I met a girl and fingered her for a while with my cut finger. I have no idea of her std status. Is there any risk of getting an STD or HIV?

Hi and welcome to HCM.
There is a risk,but this is negligible especially if there wasnt active bleeding from this cut. in every case you should try to find her hiv status and if it is positive then hiv testing is necessary. if not,then it is up to you if you re gonna test or not.
Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards
