A member asked:
If hiv positive men semen comes in contact with my penile mucus membrane(through hand),can it transmit hiv to me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low risk: This could happen, but unlikely for any one exposure. Even for the highest risk sexual exposures -- e.g. ejaculation of HIV infected semen into the rectum or vagina -- the chance of infection is roughly one in 1,000. For this particular sort of exposure, a lot lower than that.
