Can I Contract HIV Through Contact With Contaminated Genital Fluids?
Hi doc, I had protected sex with a girl of unknown status. In the process I removed the first condom and put on second condom ,but before I could put on the second condom I touched the inside of the condom with bit of vaginal fluid that was on my fingers from the first condom . The condoms did not break. Can I contract HIV given that she is positive?

Hi,
Just touching the infectious material has negligible risk for HIV infection. There is every chance for that individual free from HIV, Then there is no possibility of HIV transmission. Even if we consider her a HIV positive women then the risk is negligible only.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
