Finger Open Wound & Shower

Hi,

we had a shower with a guy I met on the internet. i did handjob to that guy. but there was an open wound on my thumb and the skin was softened because of the water touch.

Is there a risk?

HIV is not able to infect outside the body. Once exposed to the outside environment, it loses the ability to infect. That's the reason why masturbating someone, even with or without cuts or scrapes on the fingers, is never a risk for HIV.

but it had been a few hours since the wound. and can be softened and opened in water.
That has nothing to do with it. It's totally irrelevant and doesn't change the fact that you had no risk.
