Precum in an open cut
Can hiv be transmitted if precum comes in contact with a razor cut that’s an hour or two old ? Like if the precum was coming out and rubbed into the cut pretty much immediately ?

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
HIV is not easy to contract, and requires that the virus enter the bloodstream. NOTHING enters the bloodstream via minor cuts or scrapes that do not require medical attention, including HIV.

Ok, and would the razor cut be considered minor even if it appeared to cut a little deep?
Yes, of course it is minor. Unless you were at the hospital in need of medical attention to prevent blood loss - in which case this event would not have occurred.
Ok, thank you!!
Curfewx can I know why hiv can't enter through sores and cuts.and pls explain what is bloodstream
Hi, I’m sure curfew will happily help once logging on. But hoping I can provide extra comfort and perspective for you.
HIV is not as infectious as you clearly think. It requires a lot of the virus to be viable and a good point of entry into your body.
It’s not as infectious or hardy like say the flu which can survive on surfaces and passed easily from human to human.
So while theoretically a open cut and infected seamen could transmit HIV. In your case there was simply not enough virus in Pre Cum to survive and infect you.
Give your body some credit there is thousands of different defence mechanisms it uses to stop viruses from causing illness.
Years of study has looked into this. Going into the ins an out won’t help you. But you can’t catch hiv in the way you describe and even better nobody ever has.
