Touching vaginal discharge from a condom does not usually cause infection, but infection can occur if there is a cut on the hand. Touching vaginal secretions on a condom is relatively unlikely to cause infection. HIV is transmitted primarily through sexual contact, mother-to-child, and blood; body fluids are not a major mode of transmission. If it is only a light touch and does not come into contact with blood, it is usually not infected. However, if there is a wound on the hand, HIV carried by the body fluids of an HIV-infected person can enter the bloodstream through the wound and cause HIV infection. Therefore, if there is a history of such exposure, it is recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible for infectious disease testing to determine whether or not you are infected, and that you follow your doctor’s instructions.
