Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had a paper cut, and a few hours after that, I went to a massage parlor where a girl gave me a happy ending. Also, I felt her vagina for a few minutes, and then I remembered I had a paper cut. Is there any risk of contracting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand the concern. There is no need to worry as this is not the way of transmission of this disease. In addition, the paper cut causes a beveled margin, so there is no possibility. However, if you feel anxious, you can get a test for HIV.

Thank you.
