Question 1

can fingering hiv positive woman transmit hiv???

Accepted Answer

: Fingering or other hand-genital contact rarely if ever transmits HIV. There have been no scientifically documented cases of such transmission. That said, common sense suggests avoiding all intimate contact with partners known or suspected to have HIV and not on effective an anti-HIV treatment.

Question 2

hi!fingering incident. hiv duo test result at 5th week (non reactive 0.1), at 7th week ( non reactive 0.62) is conclusive? increased value is concern?

Accepted Answer

No worries: First, fingering or other hand-genital contact his risk free for HIV. There has never been a reported case. Second, a duo test at 5 weeks is about 99% conclusive. Finally, the variable numerical result is meaningless.  All values under the cutoff (usually 0.9) are equally negative. (The same specimen tested 10 times would give  10 different members.) Move on without worry and no more HIV tests.

Question 3

can fingering transmit hiv, i fingered a woman who tested positive later, i had no visible cuts on my fingers but very nervous i don't know whether i got the virus or not. ave been testing negative though by 01/10/21 will complete my 90days?

Accepted Answer

: Fingering is a low risk activity. If the test was 4th gen combo test, you are quite likely to be safe. Make sure the upcoming test is 4th Combo test or HIV nucleic acid test.
Wish you good health!

Question 4

was i at risk for hiv in touching my penis after fingering woman ? negative hiv test at 3wks at drs, at 51 days took a 4th gen blood finger prick home test kit that was sent to a lab. negative. oraquick 72 days negative. is it anxiety at this point ?

Accepted Answer

: Yes seems like it.

Question 5

can you get hiv from fingering?

Accepted Answer

Non-Intact Skin: If there's any concern for HIV at all, you both should get tested. Have the talk before engaging in any sexual activity. It's the mature and safe thing to do. Sure, it's a little awkward, but not moreso than dying of aids. It's safe to assume that secretions will carry HIV and that if you have any micro-abrasions on your finger that it's certainly possible that you could contract the virus.

Question 6

can fingering yourself lead to hiv? i didn't have any contact with a hiv+ person or there bloodily fluids. could you answer in very convincing way :)

Accepted Answer

NO: You can only contract HIV by having an exposure to the virus. You cannot give yourself HIV.

Question 7

can you get hiv from fingering without cuts on the finger?

Accepted Answer

HIV risk?: No. Hiv is not caught through skin to skin contact. There is zero risk here, even if there are 'cuts' on the finger's skin.

Question 8

can you get hiv from fingering with a maybe 3 hr old papercut. or maybe a hangnail. neither is bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Contact with HIV : HIV transmission can occur if an open wound on an uninfected person comes in contact with blood or semen from an infected person. a wound need not be actively bleeding for it to be open.

Question 9

i've read a lot of stories about hiv and fingering. the most interesting thing is that even if you have a cut on your finger, you don't get hiv. i actually wonder if this is true. some sites always say this can happen. however, certain sites say no?

Accepted Answer

: Two things are known.  1) There has never been a reported case of HIV in anyone whose only potential source of infection was fingering or hand-genital contact. 2) Cuts and nicks on hands and fingers are extremely common, so there must have been billions of fingering events in the presence of such lesions. Can it happen? Maybe. But if so, it is exceedingly rare; zero risk or close to zero.

Question 10

can you catch hiv by fingering the vagina?

Accepted Answer

HIV Risk is Zero: No. There is zero risk in this scenario.
