Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am clean and have never had unprotected sex. A man said that he was clean, and I gave him a handjob, and his cum touched my hand. He did not come into contact with my vagina, and he only touched my anus for a few seconds, and it did not slip in at all. I want to add that I bite the skin around my nails, but not to the point it bleeds. I do not believe his semen came in contact anyways. I also have a small common wart that his semen may have touched, but from what I read, that does not matter. I washed my hands when I had the opportunity (less than five minutes after) and showered as soon as I got home. What is my risk?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.

You have as such no risk, as you had touched him at anus only. As you mentioned, you had taken a quick shower, so there is nothing to worry about. You did not come in contact with blood, but as you mentioned may be semen, but the anus is not open usably, and it is closed. No parts come in contact. So, there is no risk. After nothing remains on your body or any part of your body, you are not at all at risk.

Feel free to ask more queries if needed.

Regards.
