Could inserting finger briefly into anus pose HIV risk?
Patient's Query
A tiny skin peel showing red skin beside the finger thumb nail and a bit painful with some show of little very tiny blood spot which occured some hours ago like 14 hours ago which was the day before ,and was mistakenly inserted very briefly for few seconds like 7 seconds fingering into anus of a female ,though afterwards the hand was also briefly washed off , what is the risk of hiv transmission to the finger given the slight injury occured 14 hours ago and may have even clotted before incidence of anus insertion occured? PS: did HIV test 2 weeks prior to this incidence and was negative Please I need explicit reasons and in depth answers as to this question as am scared as to what level.of injury or wound can pose a risk and the risk of HIV being transmitted through the finger via the brief anus fingering of few seconds?
Answered by Dr. Madhu Sudan
There is a low risk of HIV transmission through a brief fingering incident, especially if the cut had begun to heal, as HIV does not survive well outside the human body. Minor wounds are unlikely to provide a viable pathway for the virus, particularly if your test was negative just two weeks prior. However, any new symptoms or concerns should be assessed by a sexologist, who can provide tailored advice and peace of mind. It's always best to consult with a doctor for personalized guidance and to ensure your health is monitored appropriately.
