A member asked:

Can you get hiv from tribbing (vagina rubbing ) with a girl who might be at risk of hiv? or fingering ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just The Facts Ma'am: The virus must get through a body defense like skin or mucous membranes (like the vagina). The best defense is an intact skin or mucus membrane. It can enter through a cut or abrasion (like a finger scraping the wall of the vagina, if the finger is coated with fresh virus usually obtained from vaginal or penile secretions). The relative risks are varied, but the above are the basic facts.
