I had a handjob without a condom a week ago. Let's assume she had aids. If her hands were bleeding and if her infected blood entered into my peehole, do i get aids? i am worried because when rubbing the tip of penis, the penis hole can be opened because of the hand movement. So let's assume her blood entered my peehole do i get aids. thank you

Opus,
Getting a handjob is absolutely NOT a risk for hiv infection. Not one person has ever been infected through a handjob and you're not going to be the first.
Forget about blood on her hands. Unless she ripped her hands to shreds immediately before wanking you off, there could not possibly be enough blood present to cause concern.
Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:
You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together.
To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.
Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.
ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED TO TEST FOR HIV SPECIFICALLY FOLLOWING A HANDJOB, anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.
If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.
Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!

thanks for the quick reply. but are you saying, theoreticaly if there was very high amount blood touching my peehole and eventually entering my peehole, can i be infected?
or it doesn't matter how much amount of blood touches and enters into your urethra, you wont get aids anyway? is this statement true?

What she is saying is you didn't have a risk and no one has ever been infected from a hand job in the whole history of the epidemic .
These are the risk factors .
Sharing IV drug needles immediately after use.
Unprotected anal and vaginal sex.
Mother to child during or shortly after birth
Very specific healthcare situations.
Use condoms correctly and consistently for vaginal and anal sex and you will avoid HIV .

i understood the answer. i just wanted to know how much blood should my tip of my penis expose to and how much blood should enter into my urethra to get infected? i just wanted to know that. because she said "unless she ripped her hands to shreds". that made me wonder. if there was a lot of blood i'd have seen it maybe but my question is about kind of general knowledge. please answer

Opus,
How long is a piece of string? The point is, nobody with a fresh cut on their hand is going to give you a handjob and rub their fresh cut on the head of your penis - because that's what it would take for transmission to occur. It's nuts to even think someone would even give a handjob with a fresh cut on their hand - it would hurt for a start.
Hiv is a fragile, difficult to transmit virus that is primarily transmitted INSIDE the human body, as in unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse where the virus never leaves the confines of the two bodies.
Once outside the body, small changes in temperature and pH and moisture levels all quickly damage the virus and render it unable to infect. This is why I say they'd have to have a fresh, actively bleeding cut and rub it directly into your urethra before hiv would stand a chance of being transmitted.
Knock it off and put this behind you. Getting a handjob is one of the safest things you can do sexually.
