Fisting and Fingering are LOW RISK

There’s more risk if you are penetrated after being fingered because of bleeding inside the anus. Watch out for cuts or rashes on the hand.
The health risks from fisting and fingering can be reduced if you:
• file finger nails, remove jewellery and use latex gloves with plenty of lube to reduce the risk of tearing the anal lining
• leave fisting or fingering until after sex, as there’s less chance of bleeding in the anus
