i gave my hiv + partner a hand job and his semen came on my thumb nail. i have no cuts, nor did i have any hangnails or anything, but it hit my nail where the nail and skin come together. i'm just wondering if this puts me at a high risk for exposure? can hiv enter the body through the nail bed if there is no visibal damage to your skin?

i hate to sound rude.... no, really i do, but if your partner is +, then how come you are not educating yourself on ways of transmission?
no, you are not at risk for hiv.

i have tried doing as much research and i try to be safe... what i've read is that you have to be careful about soft skin areas and i just wasn't sure about the cuticle area of the hand since the nail and skin come together i thought maybe it would be a vulnerable area... it's paranoia more than anything. i'm really trying to make this work...

you should be very proud of yourself for trying to make it work. it takes a hell of an individual to stand by their significant other during an illness of this magnitude. i really don't think under the given circumstances you have anything to worry about. i think if your nail was infected and bleeding and such, then thier might be some cause for worry, but with what you are stating..... i'd say no risk....
how are you dealing with your partner's illness? are you talking to others? people here really are a great source of comfort, regardless of status. i am sorry if i came across rude, but sometimes people will get on here just to be a**holes. everyone here will help you get through this if you want them to. register and we can all send you private messages, if you need to talk.
love

thanks.. i registered in this name so i can communicate easier. this has been very difficult for me. my bf told me he was positive after we dated for only a month and i stayed with him, but it has been a struggle. i feel that i do all i can to be safe... i've interviewed other "magnetic" couples, read as much online as i can about safer sex, etc, but it doesn't stop me from having severe anxiety attacks and depression sometimes. things like semen on my cuticle, or like blood on a condem put me in a state of anxiety for a couple weeks. i do all i can to hide this from my bf because he already has so much to deal with and he just breaks my heart and i don't want him to feel more pain... but sometimes its more than i can bear... and i guess that brought me here. anyway, thanks for answering my question... i think i already felt in my gut that this was not a risky thing, but there's just a psychological thing going on with me that is causing anxiety over little things... i'm trying to hang in there though.. i just don't want to be yet another disappointment in his life.
