Title: Callues and touching a guy blood
Post by: Midebull on May 07, 2015, 08:48:40 pm

I met this guy at the locker room in the gym, i gave him handjob and in the middle of it there was blood coming out from there I rushed and washed my hands with soaps.

because of lifting weights I have callues in my inner palm and scratches on it. Does that mean if the blood reaches there and he has HIV I caught it? he told me he is hiv- and the blood is from a surgery that he had down there.

You have not had a risk as that is not how HIV is transmitted.

The risk factors for HIV are ...

Sharing IV drug needles immediately after use.
Unprotected anal and vaginal sex.
Mother to child during or shortly after birth.
Very specific health care situations.

Use condoms for vaginal and anal sex consistently and correctly and you will avoid HIV infection, it is that simple.
