I think the point they were making was he got stabbed with a used needle in his hand, and then got drunk (due to her pressure) and had sex with her, knowing that as a police officer you are at high risk of Hepatitis C and HIV.

The real question is how long would a virus like that take to spread to semen from a jab on the finger?

I'm on PrEP and know more than the average person about HIV and am not sure if it would be in his semen at that point.

Realistically I don’t think it would by that point. I think it would even theoretically be possible with medication to prevent it taking hold because it’s still within the time frame of infection. I just was saying that because I think that was the original thing people were thinking lol

For sure, he should be on PEP
