Hiv/Ear piercing.
Hello, im new here i have a question, the other day i pierced two friend's ears, we used 14g hollow needles all new for each person, while pulling out the needle blood dripped on my fingers, i had no gloves on, im sure i have small cuts or scraps on/around my fingers, i dont even think they have hiv i just worry alot.. what are the odds of contracting hiv this way? thank you
Thank you =)
The virus is rendared inactive and unable to infect once outside the body. With HIV, blood is really only a risk when drug needles are shared with an infected person
thanks for the reply, could you tell me what makes this a zero risk? thanks again! happy holidays!
