Professional opinion

[China34]

Hello Doctor

People where kind enough to answer my problem on the general forum , but I guess for minds sake , I would like a professional opinion to help ease my anxiety.

Now excuse the detail as I would like to be as accurate as possible to get the correct answer.

3 days ago I visited a csw in Korea and we didn't have penetrative sex but I played with her vagina ( not fully inserting my finger ) and also tickled the outside of her anus . Sylvia was used to make it easier.

A hour before I was playing darts and generally messing around with the guys when a dart hit me in the middle finger down the side of the nail and it bled .

I didn't think about this and obviously played with the csw .

I'm now terribly concerned that I may have caught HIV through the  small wound.

1. How safe is fingering with a small cut
2./ am I over reacting here?
3./ do you think I should get tested because of this activity

Any advice would be much appreciated on how I should react here.

I look forward to hearing your advice.

"Fingering" is masturbation, not insertive genital sex.  The cut makes no difference- still no risk.

last answer.  Please, no more of these "what if" questions- no risk!  EWH

I meant insert insertive sex not ice ! Spell check error

[China34]

Hi and sorry , does this apply even if I inserted the finger fully with small cut ?

Why does the risk not apply to fingers and only insert ice sex which I'm guessing fingering is ?

Does it only happen between the penis and vagina area.

Sorry I just wanted to clarify this out of interest and from an expert

Welcome to our Forum. Please be patient with our response times which, on average, is far better than on most Forums.  The MedHelp standard is that all questions should be answered within 24 hours of posting- we do far better than that.

Further, you don't need to be so inpatient when you have already received good advice on multiple occasions from our friends on the MedHelp Community sites.  The events you describe carry no risk for HIV. It is statistically unlikely that the person you masturbated had HIV or any other STD and even if you did, there is no risk of getting HIV from masturbation, even when you have a recent puncture wound on your finger which is used to masturbate your partner.  There is no reason for concern and no reason to even seek testing related to the activities that you have described.

As for your specific questions:
1. How safe is fingering with a small cut
See above- it is a no risk activity.

2./ am I over reacting here?
Yes.

3./ do you think I should get tested because of this activity
There is no need for testing

Take care.  EWH

Oh and post in the HIV Dr thread. This is the wrong place to post.

[InAsia101]

FYI I am not a Dr but I'm 99.9% the Dr's response will be the same.

FYI blood exposure usually has to be deep tissue to be an issue, such as a needle stick medial accident with known HIV blood - from what I have read.

Further I suggest you read the numerous posts on this very same type of issue on this forum.

All the best

Mate the Drs are in US time zones - give them a break. Read the terms and conditions - a 24 hr turn around is the norm. To answer you questions - free of charge!!! -

1. No risk from the small cut;
2. Yes you are completely over reacting; and
3. No testing required at all.
