The type of activity mentioned is highly unlikely to result in HIV transmission. Cdc.gov is a reliable site in learning more about HIV transmission.

After massaging a woman's genitals, I used disinfectant on my hands. I noticed it made the one of my fingers by the cuticle sting slightly, as if it was open. The skin did not appear to be broken and I was not bleeding. Am I at risk for STD/HIV?
