I have been single 12 months and dated 2 women in that time. There has been zero intercourse or oral sex.

I did not know the HIV status of either as intercourse and oral sex never happened, therefore I did not see a need to ask.

Only activities were:

A) open mouth French kissing; and

B) fingering

I noticed a scratch on my arm that had scabbed over. I picked at it, which caused it to bleed for a while.

I had also briefly put my finger in my nostril to clear a booger just before.

My worry is that I had been touching communal door handles in my building and on public transport a few minutes before. I am worried that I did not wash my hands before doing this, and the possibility of secretions being on my fingers when I touched the bleeding scab and/or in my nostril.

The nurse at my local clinic has advised that deep (French) kissing and fingering are both no risk for HIV, even if the partner was positive.

She also said that HIV is not spread on fingers - only by A) unprotected intercourse, B) shared syringes; and C) blood transfusions.

Please can you help me? Is everything all good like my nurse has said and can I move on without any HIV concern?

Thanks in advance.
