Teak if you are there

Hello Teak,

Firstly thankyou for your work in here i know and others value your advice.

I have posted already in this forum and also on the drs forum but am waiting for a further response. My exposure is detailed as mutual masturbation (placed finger in F v@gina for about 1-3 secs. Afterwards noticed old (perhaps5-8 hts old) cuts around cuticle area of finger. Freaked out and the rest is history.

My question is why is this determined no risk. I don't understand why if i have penetrated the female and my finger is inside for a short period of time with exposed skin (not bleeing) why there can not be a risk of transmission. It is a question asked hundreds of times and i am sure i, like others are happy to see the NO RISK but my rational side would like to know why.

My incident/exposure occured only 5 days ago and i have been consumed by this in every way.

Can you please enlighten a little further and give your thoughts.

(i can see you shaking your head already!!!!0

Would be appreciated.

thanks

1...CUTS START HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS...SEALING OFF ENTRY

2...YOU WERE NOT BLEEDING

3...THE KIND OF CUT IT WOULD TAKE TO MAYBE BE A RISK WOULD BE SOOOOOOOOOO SIGNIFICANT THAT YOU WOULD NOT BE PUTTING YOUR FINGER IN OR AROUND SOMEONE'S VAGINA.

NOW MOVE ON.

Lizzie, you are correct regarding my first post regarding an incident in Mar. However for circumstances unknown to me i have found myself back in the same behaviour with the same anxieties. I do not mean to waste anyones time but I am going through a lot in my life at the moment. Some self created like this rediculous incident i find myself in again and some not.

I am simply asking for some clarification from others who know more than me about why this is clarified as no risk.

I apologise if i have caused offence or frustration.

for starters...you stated on your first post on this forum that you never even entered the vagina with your finger.

secondly...you tested at 83 days anyway and that result was negative.

NOW MOVE ON...this forum has nothing left to offer.

Yes that is what i have been advised and i am very grateful of this information but i do not know why this is no risk. Can i please ask you to eloborate a little for my piece of mind. I know it is annoying that the same question is posted several times but each person feels there circ. are unique. I guess i am just asking for that little extra in axplanation. Thankyou.
