wounds AND hiv (transmission question)

at what point will hiv be transmitted with an open wound?

if you have a tear in the outside area of  your anus, will sperm contact be a mode of transmission (no penetration)?

does it differ if someone has a cut in their finger and the blood on your partners finger comes in contact with your tear in your anus that is also bleeding?

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.

it is odd that the doctor on the forum states....the time it takes for hiv to become inactive depends on the circumstances, do you agree TEAK?

I understand that. So to wrap this up, even having some sperm near the hole opening with a bloody open wound is a NO RISK situation, which requires no testing?

Penetration is just that penetration. No you do not need ejaculation, you can have pre-ejaculation or cell sheading but it must be unprotected penetrative anal or vaginal sex.

Hi,

Penetration meaning ejaculation must take place inside the anal canal?

If he ejaculated at the tip of the hole where the bloody cut was, this is not considered penetration, correct?

Even if they have an STD it doesn't change the fact you never had an exposure.

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

hello,

would you kindly state your reasoning?

would things change if either of the individuals have another STD such as herpes, chlamydia or HPV?

thanks,
