Fingering & HIV infection(Via Nose)
      #232570 - 10/17/07 09:50 AM

Hi,
1. Can a person(let's say subject A-male) get infected by accidently inserting vaginal fluids(from an infected person, let's say subject B) into nose?

Assuming, subject A did fingering activity on subject B who works at a night club, but after the activity subject A accidently used the same finger to dig his nose(after 1 mins). Can HIV get transmitted via nose(mucus membranes)?
What's the risk if no cuts or wounds found inside nose while subject A digged his nose?

How servere is this case?

Is there any case like this reported to Centers for Disease Control?

I've never heard of someone getting infected from picking their nose. I certainly never been a cause for transmission that the CDC has ever looked into.

In real life people get infected from unprotected sex or needle use and the common denominator in transmission is the the virus is NOT exposed to the outside environment, which would kill it.

So....even if you had infected vaginal fluid dripping off your finger. After a minute it would probably be a) pretty dry, b) exposed to air and c) no longer at a warm temp. Not to mention the higher concentrations of HIV are found in the Cervial fluid which is pretty high up in the vagina.

Again, you get infected from unprotected sex and sharing needles. Not from picking your nose after you fingered someone.

chirs

The situation and/or the exposure you state does not place you at any risk whatsoever for HIV/STD's.

However, it doessound you are quite prone to OCD and anxiety, get that sorted out :)

Goodluck

Take Care

God Bless you

Stay Well

Love Ravi
