It would be quite interesting to find out why you would do such a stupid thing like that, suck your finger after having it in someones............, that doesn't take brains.

I would go see a doctor and tell him what you did, you could make his day, you made mine.

The HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, parenteral exposure to blood and blood components, contamination of infected blood into open wounds or mucous membranes, and perinatally from an infected mother to fetus or infant. There is no evidence of transmission via other routes, such as through casual contact in a household or the aerosol route. One case was reported of transmission from an HlV-infected hemophiliac to his twin hemophiliac brother, which may have resulted from a shared razor." A second case was documented of transmission of the HIV from an HlV-infected child to an HIVseronegative child. Although the mode of transmission is unknown, it is believed to be through unrecognized exposure to blood.


While the virus may be present in a variety of body fluids, only blood poses any degree of risk of transmission in athletic settings. Tears, sweat, urine, sputum, vomitus, saliva. and respiratory droplets have not been implicated in infection transmission. There are currently estimated to be over one million carriers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the United States. Hepatitis B is spread through the same routes as HIV (sexual contact. parenteral blood exposure, and perinatally) but is more readily transmitted than HIV. Explanations for this difference may include the fact that HBV is far more concentrated in blood, with a milliliter of blood containing upward of 100 million infectious doses of the virus,2 whereas HIV is generally found in concentrations of only a few hundred to a few thousand particles per milliliter of blood.
