Can Rubbing Vagina With Semen On Hand Cause Pregnancy?
Me and my girlfriend got a semen on our hands.she wiped her hands with a tissue and i went to the washroom to wash my hands twice with soap. I wiped my hands with a towel. She told me that she rubbed her outer vagina without washing her hands.then i fingered her. Can that make her pregnant?

hello and welcome,
I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries.
The chances of getting pregnant after only rubbing outer vagina with semen are extremely low almost zero as sperms do not survive outside for long. Also other factors like if it was the fertile period [ day 10-20 from the first day of last menstrual period], if there was an ovulation going on all affect pregnancy. The chances of getting pregnant from a single act of unprotected sex are only 2%. So do not worry. If you still do not want to take a risk, use and emergency contraceptive like plan B as soon as possible within 72 hours of contact. If she misses her period [plan B also causes menstrual irregularities] a urine pregnancy test done 3 weeks after the day of suspected sex will rule out all possibilities.
Do not worry. Chances are not there.
Hope I was able to satisfy your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
