Your question was already answered that you had no risk from this event.

I don't really think Chima could have said that more clearly.  HIV is not transmitted by scratches. HIV is transmitted in adults by having unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or sharing IV drug needles.  Your scenario is not a risk, at all.  Any rashes you have are not related to this.  Zero risk is zero risk.  That's it.  Move on from this worry.

Thanks for your reply
Should I go for further testing or rapid test taken at 34 days from lab conclusive?
Your questions don't make any sense. You keep asking about HIV symptoms and testing after 3 different people have told you that you had NO RISK and ZERO exposure. Perhaps this is a language barrier issue. I suggest you look up an online translator to help you understand what these words mean in your language.
Sorry don't get annoyed,i am highly stressed because of the symptoms that resembles to be hiv specific and come at 2 weeks after the event one last question
Are these symptoms (rashes and nausea are not hiv specific?  )
If there were hiv infection it must have shown in hiv rapid test taken at 34 days at lab?
Thanks for your patience
Sorry once again
I'm not annoyed at all, I'm just trying to understand why you can't understand what no risk means and why you keep asking about symptoms for a non exposure situation. I don't know what else anyone can say to you to make it any more clear than we already have. There's really nothing else that can be added to what everyone has already told you.
Actually there is lot of mis information on internet about Survival time of hiv in body fluids outside the body  in my case vaginal fluid come in contact with nail scratches on my neck with in few fraction of seconds just within 2-3 seconds do you think within 2-3 seconds the hiv virus dies on exposer to oxygen? It will completely give my mind rest
Thanks once again

What you have described is not a risk and would never lead to HIV. HIV can only infect inside the body. Any body fluids exposed to air are immediately start degrading and are unable to infect.

Since you were never exposed to HIV, there is of course no reason to get tested.
