Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Most commonly, people get or transmit HIV through sexual behaviors and needle or syringe use. Only certain body fluids?blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk?from a person who has HIV can transmit HIV. In your given case, there is no risk of HIV. Take care.
