Thanks doctor.
I read in a lot of forums that its not possible to be at risk from a handjob.
As you know reading forums puts in a lot of information and mostly unwanted.
I would like to however double confirm that the exposure doesnt exist from a handjob. Correct?
Thank tou very much
Also doctor she had long nails and i found a superficial scratch on my testicle. Does this increase the exposure of Hiv?
Kindly confirm. Thanks

Hi and thank you so much for this follow up query.
I have reviewed this information fully. A handjob is just like a handshake and HIV cannot be transmitted this way. Be relaxed about it and know it would be exceptional to hear about transmission from such a contact.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
