Fingering anus with sore and cut on finger

Hi, I would like to ask about getting my finger in my broken anal.  He put his finger in my anus when it had a cut, and if his hand had a cut when it was inserted into the anus and was pinched to bleed when it was inside the anus and friction.  So does the risk count as unprotected anal intercourse?  thankyou

Your question has been fully answered that you had no risk.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (touching, maybe bleeding broken anal,  bleeding cuts on hand,  etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.

Sorry to bother you, but I mean the wound on the hand can start to bleed again while in the anus.  Please be more specific because I trust the consultants here.  Thank
Your original post was clear, and my answer was in regard to it, so it is time to reread the advice and then you can move on.
Thankyou
sorry, but as i read and some people say that if the finger bleeds again when it's inside my anus the risk is equal to anal sex and unprotected penis.  So I really want you to explain more so that I can reduce my anxiety. Thankyou
"some people say" - those people have NO idea what they are talking about.  A finger is nothing like a penis, and you cannot get HIV from a finger, bleeding or not.

The only sexual risk for HIV is having unprotected, penetrative, anal or vaginal sex, which involves a penis.
You must be very anxious because you haven't understood any of the advice. Since you didn't answer the QUESTION I will do it for you. No, there wasn't a penis in my anus when I was fingered and I wasn't injected with a hollow shared needle while being fingered so I had zero risk and should move on from hiv ideas instead of continuing to waste my time asking purposeless questions.
Not sure why you keep asking the same question over and over, then tell me that I am wrong because you know better. We rely on the opinion of expert doctors, so we don't pay attention to what people say they read (or think they read etc.) on other sites or we will be here arguing all day.
Thank you so much for being patient with me
Hi, I want to ask a question about PrEP, daily and on demand, what is the difference?  I was advised to use PrEP on request because of the occasional sexual act, but the CDC does not support 2-1-1.  So which therapy is right for me since I don't have sex every week or even month.  And does anyone take PrEP and still get it, I live in Australia.
It is a new question and not spam, thankyou
They are equally effective.  Work with your doctor to determine what's best for you - we don't give advice on taking prescription medication.  Of course, it would only be advisable at ALL if you are having penetrative intercourse and not just fingering, handjobs, or oral sex.
Thanks, I have scheduled an appointment with my STD doctor about the necessary STI prevention and vaccinations.  Thank you for your thoughtfulness that relieves my stress
hi, i would like to ask that, after 6 weeks and i went to check by the method of taking blood from my finger and putting it on the test strip, the result after 20 minutes is negative, so is it safe?  And do I need to check again in 12 weeks?  thank
