You need to be a bit more patient.  Hotboy's attempt to take over your thread and deleted.

I have already answered your question - zero risk is no risk, even if some of the skin from your thumb had been peeled off.  EWH

Your exposure is zero risk.  You do not know if he had HIV or not,  Further, you did not penetrate him in any way and your exposure to his secretions was modest.  Thus this exposure is within the realm of masturbation which is safe sex.  No risk to you for acquisition of HIV or any other STD.  Please realize that in the course of masturbation miniscule amounts of genital secretions are inadvertently shared between partners, nonetheless there are no HIV transmissions which have occurred in this way.  The fact that you may have had an abrasion on your hands does not change the zero risk circumstnace.  You do not need to worry, nor do you need testing.  EWH

Why did you pay $15 for an expert's advice if you are not going to accept  it?

This forum can no longer help you. If you're going to be such a basket case over no risk sexual activities than I suggest you seek professional counseling to deal with your sexuality.

You have got to be kidding, right????

Do you NOT listen?  Did you actually READ the replies you got?

You were NEVER at risk...nor has anyone ever gotten HIV in the manner you describe!  If you want to think differently, knock yourself out....but quit wasting the doctor's time.

Read what nursegirl has said.  She understands what was said before and has reiterated it for you once again.  I will not.  I will however delete future comments without comment. (and thanks nursegirl). EWH

All you are doing is repeating the same question over and over, to which you already have been given an answer.  You had NO risk, skin peeling or not.
