Question
QUESTION: hi
i got fingered via my but by a guy he had pre cum on his fingers am i at risk of hiv
ANSWER: Hello Linda!
About your question: Fingering is normally not a high risk activity for HIV. And it is not is not a likely route for HIV transmission, unless the guy is HIV infected, you had open cuts/sores in/on vagina and he had the same.
I am quoting a paragraph for your convenience:
"All anyone can say is that if there is a fresh open cut on the finger (see above), then there would be some risk of infection if blood, semen, or vaginal secretions had a direct access to that opening. But the risk is less than intercourse or giving oral sex. That's all anybody could ever say on this issue. It is normally a low risk activity for HIV."
Considering this, I don't see any potential risk of HIV transmission.
I am terribly sorry for answering late ... I hope you'd not get angry!
Sincere regards,
Gorkey

QUESTION: you say there is not a risk i have checked on this forum and some other experts are saying yes a risk so who is right??
see below
"Theoretically, there is a small risk because preseminal fluid can transmit HIV. The risk is small, however.
Thank you!"
"If finger was covered with precum or cum that had HIV, then you are at risk, low risk. Precum, of all the bodily fluids and secretions, may be slightly lower risk than semen as being able to carry large quantities of HIV even if the virus is present.
Why? HIV if present, is more apt to be carried along in white blood cells (WBCs) that are shed in the semen; there aren't a lot of WBCs in precum, unless the person is infected with gonorrhea or chlamydia.
ANSWER: Dear Linda,
As i have mentioned earlier, fresh open cut on the finger (see above), then there would be some risk of infection if blood, semen, or vaginal secretions had a direct access to that opening cut. so that means there is some risk. But if you do not have any cut then i presume the risk is none.
For more detail, you can consult a doctor.
Regards,
Gorkey.

QUESTION: Hi
thanks for your reply, in think there is some confusion hear., im not concerened about my finger!
i got fingered via my anus the guy had PRE CUM ON HIS FINGER is there a risk situation to HIV
Dear Linda,
The guy who fingered your anus had precum, i get the situation; now if the guy HIV positive, and you have cut inside your anus, through which his precum can get mixed with you body fluid (blood or salaiva) ONLY then you have chance of getting HIV infected.
And if the guy do not have HIV and then you have no chance of getting HIV.
Hope this clear up things.
Stay Well
Regrads,
Gorkey
