Q: HIV/Bodily Fluid Question

guys i need help.
on the month of April i had my first sexual intercourse with a 'sex worker'.
i wore a condom, but before that, i just lost my mind and forgotten to put it on during my first penetration attempt, i didn't penetrate though and I'm scared that i may be infected when i was fingering her vagina and i don't remember whether i have any cuts on my fingers.

will i be infected by just trying(unable) to penetrate without a condom.? how are my chances of getting HIV.?

if my fingers have small cuts(the part of your fingers where your fingernails grow from) and her vaginal fluids weren't that many, will i get infected.? is the amount of vaginal fluids of a HIV positive woman that comes in contact to a small cut matter? e.g the more fluid that goes through the cut the more chance of getting HIV and likewise.?

please reply, i really need all your advice... Sad

thanx.... Crying or Very sad

It's by no means a sure thing, but it certainly is possible to get infected that way. Getting tested is the only way to know for sure. So you might as well schedule an appointment to get tested at your doctor's office or a clinic.

Llewellyn, does the amount of vaginal fluid of a HIV positive girl (i hope not) getting in touch with my hangnail have an effect.?

like say for example, only a small amount of fluid have come in contact with my hangnail..?
will i still have a possibility to contract HIV...?

Yes, even small amounts of bodily fluid contain HIV if the person has HIV. So a woman could still get HIV if she has sex with a man who pulls out, and a man could still get HIV if he is with a woman who has HIV but is not very lubricated.
