Question

could this be possible?
This may sound very weird and I am highly embaressed to ask this. Is it possible that can one could become hiv-positive when masturbating and there was dry blood on your finger? I could have touched a surface with dry blood yet I don't even know if there was dry blood on this surface. But I am really paranoid about this. I would also like to know how long before blood, semen, urine becomes dry? Can urine be infective? Is dry blood infective?
Please help.
Thank you.

Very worried, you can stop worrying – there is no way you can become positive like that. How long fluids take to become dry I can’t say, but once it is dry it won’t stick to your finger anymore and then you won’t be able to infect yourself. On the other hand, it is a good idea to wash your hands before masturbating. Good luck.
