risk acquire HIV during woman masturbation

[sadman_21]

DR. IM VERY WORRY. LAST WEEK I WAS WITH A STREET WORKER. I ONLY PUT MY FINGERS INSIDE HER VAGINE DURING ABOUT 2-3MIN. IM WORRY ABOUT IF THERE IS ANY RISK TO ACQUIRE HIV WITH THIS KIND OF CONTACT. I DID NOT HAVE A OBVIUS OR BLENDING WOUND BUT 2 DAYS BEFORE I GOT MY NAILS CUT. I WAS WONDERING IF WHEN YOU CUT YOUR NAILS TOO SHORT MAYBE THE SMALL SPACE BETWEEN THE FINGER AND THE NAILS COULD BE A  PATH OF TRANSMISION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

There are many 4th generation tests.   Tests that test for both HIV antigens and HIV antibodies are 4th generation tests.  Sometimes these tests are called "DUO" tests.  EWH

There is no risk for HIV or for other STIs from the events you describe.  In adults HIV is transmitted only through unprotected sexual intercourse or by injection of infected material deep into tissue.  The presence of small cuts or scrapes on your fingers does not change this assessment, still no risk, no need for testing, and no need to abstain from unprotected sex with a regular partner.  EWH
