Over the summer I messed around with a girl that's a promiscuous injection drug user and has hep c. I am also a female. She had a gash on her hand that I'm almost certain she had gotten a few days before and was not actively bleeding, but may have been moist. Before she fingered me she went into another room and I'm not sure if she touched herself vaginally, but that worries me because earlier she had produced a lot of vaginal fluids that got all over my hands, but nowhere else. What I'm worried about is after she came back in the room, she fingered me. What if she had some vaginal fluids on her hand, or the hand she used was the one with the gash and it had some fluid or some fresh blood that got into the mucosal membranes of my vagina? Would I be at risk for hiv? All we did was kiss and make out, no vaginal grinding. On a few other occasions we ate each other out with dental dams. I'm worrie because a few weeks after the fingering episode I felt tired and weak and had a slight fever in the evening and it lasted for about 4 days. Could this be ARS? Am I at risk for hiv?

No it would have not been able to infect you.

So does that mean if there was fresh blood on her hand (and I don't think there was because I'm almost certain the gash was from a scuffle a few days prior) or vaginal fluids on her hand, it would not have been able to infect me?

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
