About cut

Hello,
I know that the HIV can be transmitted by blood. So,I've a question: which type of cut is risk for HIV? You know, we always have cut  that you cannot feel about it. This type of cut , no bleeding, feel no pain.And when it touch water, you may feel a little pain. Is this type of cut  risk for HIV?

NO, A open cut that would be considered as an HIV risk would be on that is actively bleeding. Meaning you would need to be bandaged up or seeking medical treatment as in stitches. This would have to come it to detect contact with a infected persons blood.

Also a little bit of blood would not be enough to transfer the virus in the scenario above.

Paper cuts, cracks in skin etc. are not a risk for infection.
