Please answer my question (really worried) .. please

Thank You in advance for answering my question, and hopefully giving me peace of mind. (Please, Please answer).

2 days ago I had prostate screening (where the practitioner finger goes through rectal deeply). I noticed that the practitioner used only one glove with a little amount of lubricant. After he finished, he wiped the area with some tissues, I noticed that he used tissues that placed near the window but not a new tissues!! Moreover, after he finished he was looked to the glove and his finger several times (I’m not sure was that because the glove teared or for something else!). I noticed a small cut (not bleeding) on the same finger he used.
• I don’t know about his status !

My questions (please)>>
1- Am I at any risk of getting HIV in case that the glove teared ?? He inserted his finger very deeply one time and there was a small cut but not bleeding??
2- Do I need to get a Post Exposure Prophylaxis??
3- Am I at any risk of any other blood borne viruses, as he didn’t use a new tissues ??

Please, I need your answers ASAP. Please.

Hello

Most of your worries seem to be around you adding two and two together and getting 29.

I can't actually see any real basis for your worries apart from your fear.

You asked

1- Am I at any risk of getting HIV in case that the glove teared ?? He inserted his finger very deeply one time and there was a small cut but not bleeding??no - I think is nightmare fantasy - you are not at risk
2- Do I need to get a Post Exposure Prophylaxis??no
3- Am I at any risk of any other blood borne viruses, as he didn’t use a new tissues ??no - blood borne viruses are not spread by dry inanimate objects.

best regards, Sean

Thank you Dr. Sean for your response,

1- in case there were some drops of blood around his cut (I may didn't notice) with the teared glove, Am I still not under any risk of HIV transmission??

2- is deep anal fingering with a small cut considered as a risk of HIV transmission?

3- in such case, do you think HIV test should be taken?

Please, I'm confusing and I really need your answers (Please). Thank You in advance.

Hello again

1- in case there were some drops of blood around his cut (I may didn't notice) with the teared glove, Am I still not under any risk of HIV transmission??no - you seem to have imagined the entire tearing glove thing - even if he was HIV positive I still have difficulty with the torn glove scenario and then to add blood leaking out of the torn glove seems to me to be unrealistic.

2- is deep anal fingering with a small cut considered as a risk of HIV transmission?no - besides again - there is no evidence for this - just your fearful imagination

3- in such case, do you think HIV test should be taken?again, No

best wishes, Sean
