A member asked:

Is hiv transmission possible from semen and/or pre seminal fluid being in contact with the clitoris through fingering or clitoral masturbation?

Specializes in Infectious Disease

No risk, no worry: HIV is not transmitted by hand-genital contact. Only sex with penetration allows enough virus to contact susceptible cells inside the body. Also no significant risk of any other STD.
