Possible semen from hand, to shirt to chapped lips

Hello,

I had been so scared recently that almost everything I think of a No-Sex fingering encounter with a CSW is worrying me. Experts here please help. I went there just to ask here if she has tested herself and now new worries have arrived in my mind.

1. The commercial sex worker picked up a wet tissue (possibly wet in semen) and dumped it in bin. And she touched my shirt (there could be semen on her fingers).  As I was coming out, I wiped my lips on that arm of shirt. My lips are chapped as I am too worried these days, I am getting no appetite and sleep.
2. I took due care to protect my hands. But I had a hangnail covered with bandage. I came out to wash my hand with hand soap but forgot to take off the bandage. Later I realized the bandage has water all covering my bleeding wound.

Could above be cause of concern. If there was semen in fingers and it touches the shirt and rubs over the chapped lips, is it a risk of HIV transmission? Please help.

Hello Teak,

Thank you very much for reply. My lips are definitely dry and also bleeding. Does this bleeding chapped lips coming in touch with any semen on shirt pose no risk? It might have happened withing a minute or so. Is testing recommended?
