cut on scrotum, hiv risk?
Hi,
I accidentally cut my scrotum whilst trimming and had protected anal intercourse (receptive) only a few hours ago. Its a small cut but has not fully healed or closed up. I don't think, but cannot be sure, that any semen came into contact with it, assuming it did, risk? PEP?
I have read a heap of scrotum cut based questions before posting, none relating to semen though. And I am sorry to be bothering you with this but a short answer will really help me sleep tonight.
