Is It Possible I Have HIV?

Published: May 15, 2024
Dear TeenHealth FX,
Hello, I have a scratch on my knee. 14h after I made that scratch, I received a nude massage from a women (Unknown HIV status). Pretty sure she rubbed her vagina on my 14hours-long scratch on my knee. What would be the risk of me getting HIV if she appeared to be HIV positive? Thank you for your response!
