Is semen on dry skin flakes a risk for HIV

Hi,

I had mutual masturbation with a guy and when he ejaculated it got spilled and smeared on my index finger where i have dry skin flaking out on my palm at places. This dry flaking skin is due to long hour bike riding..(palm skin in long contact with handle bar of bike).. But the skin does not have deep wound inside or painfully open skin under the flaking skin...Am doubtful if the semen has any chance of transmitting HIV or any other STDs through the dry flaking skin?? Please help with your expertise to my query..

Thanking in advance.

Reread what i said. No penetrative sex=no risk for hiv. Even with hand abrasions.

Both the scenarios are not same.  The moment virus comes in contact with the environment it is rendered inactive - It is seperated from it's host.  Whereas anal sex is direct transmission of virus with out any environmental factors, it is a contact direct within the body.  

Please do not write information that has no credibility, if you intend to ask,  there are answers but the post above is not accurate. It is wrong information.
