hiv through burn
Dear friends, somedays back i was smoking cigarette when I didnt realise that it had finished and my hand got a burn..There was no bleeding of any kind but the skin did become kinda different..I after 10 mins then fooled around with a prostitute and fingered her for 5 10 mins..I just wanted to ask the chances of contracting HIV or Hep C like this..I am really worried and there is no mention of any such kinda exposure on this community..Everyone who has got a burn got it few days prior to their nightmare incident..Isnt it true that HIV attacks WBC's and WBC's form on the top of a burn when it happens like in herpes..Plzz help me..
thanks Vance but why does Dr.Cook say that a burned skin is similar to an open cut in the following posts.

Also if u remember in Herpes and Syphilis also there is no route to the blood stream but the sores are themselves routes as they are composed of WBC's..Similarly if your skin burns, white blood cells amalgamate to cure it and that is the time when WBC's can enter in..
