HIV from cuts.

Ok thank you very much for your time anyway i have one last question though this does not relate to EBV.
About 3 weeks ago i went to a bar and just before enterning like 2 minutes before i feel on ice and had cuts on both my wrists there was blood seen my own blood i went to the washroom in the bar and poured some beer to just clean it up and then with water there were a few cuts on both my wrists.However that night i was quite drunk and might have come in contact with other people i mean my wrist might have touched somebody else as i shook hands with a few people inside the bar.And i was later dragged out of the bar by the bouncer because of being drunk and he grabbed me out could any contact with the bouncer and my wrist or anybody else pose a risk for HIV ?

Thank you

No, HIV has never been transmitted in that manner. You didn't have a risk and we read your post in its entirety.

I understand it cannot pass through casual contacts but can it pass if some one elses fresh cut came in contact with my cut in the wrist ?

HIV is not transmitted through casual contact. The virus is not infectious outside of the human body.
