Cut

Exposure
Bought some porno items from a porno store and they gave me a paper bag. Went home and while grabing one of the items I get a severe paper cut. The bag was Derry it had stains on it I cannot identify. I also cut myself while opening one porno DVD.  What is my risk?
Best regards

Just checked the bag again.  The cuts I had were as follows
One paper cut and the other one was not the DVD.  It was from the staple inside the bag

Welcome to the Forum. Cuts of this sort do not put you at risk for HIV, even though the paper and DVD you cut yourself with were from a porno store.  The HIV virus dies almost immediately on exposure to air and the environment.  HIV have never been documented to be transmitted this way. You have no reason to worry and no need for testing. EWH
