Hello. Some hours ago a junkie was begging money to the streets. As i gave him some coins my index finger touched his palm & fingers. I dont have any knicks or cuts but my nails lately are a bit longer. Also i did not notice his hand but my finger seemed clear afterwards. Later on i did some work and put some nitrile gloves for an hour. So after this hour passed, i scratched a scabbed small wound i had on my face with the same index finger i touched him. Scabbed was off and instantly bled a little. Now could a transmission of HIV can happen from maybe dried blood or other biological fluids from the junkie transferred under my nail or finger and later on passed it to my fresh wound? Sounds ridiculous but i want your clarification cause my anxiety is on. 

Welcome back to the forum.---

Thank you for your answer. I really appreciate the help you provide here. I wanted to ask also something…I had a protected vaginal intercourse 7 weeks ago and tested negative at 45 days after with a antibody/p24 antigen test (duo). Facing a heavy sore throat now, could this be possible to have late ARS symptoms?

The antigen-antibody (AgAb, "duo") tests are conclusive at 45 days. Your negative result proves your symptoms are not possibly caused by HIV. In addition, ARS symptoms never start more than 2 weeks after catching the virus. And of course even among people at risk for HIV, common colds and other respiratory virus are far more common causes of such symptoms. No worries at all about HIV.---
