Very worried about ear cleaning!Please help me!
Two weeks ago, I went to a sauna club, after I took a shower. I asked a woman to provide massage to me. At first, she did ear cleaning to me. She used a tool to clean my ear, I am afraid that if there was a wound in the depths of my ear ,and the tool contained someone's blood. So the blood contacted the wound of my ear(maybe the wound is bleeding). Will I be RISKY? Thank you very much!

As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
You had NO RISK for HIV. HIV is not able to infect once it leaves the body, and NO ONE is ever infected by objects that have touched someone else's blood. There is nothing you can add to this event that would make it a risk for HIV.

Sorry to disturb again! What about Touching the woman's leg and hands, if still her Leg or her hand is bleeding, at the same time my hand had a bleeding wound,. Will I be risky?
Reread the advice focusing on the word "nothing" rather than rephrasing your same question.
You mean it is still no risky? Thank you!
