Stripper Bled on Me

[worriedguy777]

I went to an all nude strip joint and got a vip dance from two girls.  The girls did things with each other, including using a large toy, while grinding on me.  At one point, I rubbed the vagina of the dancer who was receiving the toy, and I slightly put the tip of one or two of my fingers inside of her.  When I got home, I noticed under my middle finger nail what appeared to be blood.  I kind of freaked out, but after scrubbing my fingers and hands, and face (her vagina didn't ever touch my face but it was so close at times it might as well of) with alcohol and soap and water, I tried to tell myself it was just dirt.  Today, I was getting my laundry together and I saw that the pair of pants I was wearing had blood on it, quite a bit!  I am not sure if it was from the large toy, of if I scratched her when I inserted my finger but, the dancer was definitely freely bleeding on me.  The dancer that was performing on the bleeding dancer also reached inside my pants twice and grabbed my penis, however both times were very brief because I told her to stop.  I am incredibly worried for two reasons.  As far as my fingers and hands, my work, combined with the cold and wind have left my hands incredibly chapped, and cracked, with open wounds on them.  The corners of all of my fingers and nails are cracked and open, and my knuckles are all cracked and open as well.  The second thing is, I had a little sore on my penis from some chaffing that happened from masturbating too roughly and the dancer who was touching the bleeding strippper touched my penis twice!  So, ultimately my question is, how likely is it that I could have contracted an std or any bloodborne disease from the bleeding stripper if she is infected?  I also have a girlfriend that I live with and do not want to risk infecting her.  She knew that I was going, and she knows everything that happened, up until me finding the blood on my pants today.  Thank you.

Thank you for your response.

I realize now that I posted this in an HIV specific forum, so just to clarify, what about other blood transmitted diseases such as hepatitis?  Any risk there or should I be ok?

Welcome to the forum.

First, it is statistically unlikely either of the strippers has HIV.  Second, skin or finger contact with blood carries no risk of transmission.  Even unprotected sex with a menstruating HIV infected woman does not raise the risk any higher than if she were not on her period.  And minor wounds of the fingers or anywhere else makes no difference:  nobody ever gets HIV by fingering, regardless of such minor skin defects.

Therefore, you needn't worry at all, do not need to be tested for HIV, and can safely continue unprotected sex with your regular partner, with no risk of infecting her.

I hope this is helpful.  Best wishes--  HHH, MD
