HIV risk from small cut

[Aman08]

Hello ,

Please help me as I am worried and getting anxiety attacks due to this incident.

I am male 26, I met one guy in dating app , what we just did is simple hugs and cuddles. We didn’t even remove our underwears .
What is making me worry is he started sucking my nipples along with that he started biting my nipples, i felt good and I didn’t stop him. At that time I didn’t notice any visible blood. I didn’t check his mouth properly.

I noticed my nipples after he left .. I could see there was a very small cut and abrasion, it was reddish. ( there was no oozing blood from that scratch  ) .. I felt tingling sensation and small pain for sometime.

Now my question, since there was a small cut and tiny bit of blood involved.

1. Am I at the risk of hiv?
2. What if he had cuts on his mouth or bleeding gums and while biting my nipples, his blood would have entered my body via that small cut I mentioned earlier? Is this risky situation?
3. Do I need to get hiv test for this ?

I read your post three times. What you posted isn't an HIV risk, zero! Move on with your life.


Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV

Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.

Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.

Kind regards

Jim

Hey Jim ,

Thank you so much for response.

It’s been a day now , again I observed my nipples . I can now see a small clear scar.
Considering this, there definitely have been some tiny amount my blood involved when he bit my nipples.
Does this pose any hiv risk ? Please reply, I am getting anxious again.

Asked and answered.

The cut isn't even a route for HIV, you had no HIV risk. Move on with your life.
