HIV from electrical wire prick?

[HecG]

While helping someone on an outdoor electrical installation I was pricked with an electrical wire. I could see a couple of red dots on my finger, and a tiny bit of blood. Some 30 seconds to 1 minute before someone else had been pricked too and also had a visible red dot on his thumb (I learned of this after). It might have been the same strand of wire or not (electrical wires have multiple copper strands inside the plastic cover, which are the ones that can prick). Is there any chance to get HIV from that?

The ways that people transmit HIV is to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or share IV needles to inject drugs. Air inactivates the virus. Being pricked with an electrical wire has nothing to do with HIV. Thinking someone else pricked themselves exactly as you did and their blood is on the wire is irrational. And anxiety driven. But beyond that, it also is something exposed to air and therefore, no chance of transmission of hiv

Hi. Thanks for the answer. Just want to clarify that I know for a fact the other guy did prick himself moments before I did. He showed me his finger after I’d pricked myself with the same couple of wires he’d been manipulating. I didn’t see any blood (the wires were partially obstructed from view) but there might have been a bit on the strand he pricked himself with.

No reason to clarify as I was clear. You can't get HIV even if that wire stabbed someone and had fresh blood on it. Got it? Not a route of transmission. If you can't accept that? I'm guessing you have an anxiety disorder which is treatable. Your scenario is absolutely irrational by the way. Please work on the anxiety. Not a risk and an irrational fear.
