deeply be afraid of being infected
hello,
please consider my description, although it may seem very naive, but i am really worried.
yesterday i got haircut and unfortunately i was sticked by the scissor of the barber on an old injury on my face, and then it blooded.
it is about 4~5 minutes since i entered the barbershop, so i just worried about the time is too short to get the HIV blood on the scissor(if it has) curdled.
if the contaminated blood owns the ability of infectiong if it has not been totally condensed? and If i has a risk of interfection?
thank you

I just realizes you should post this in another forum called HIV prevention....go ahead and do that and people with more knowledge than I will get back to you. I still have some things to learn about HIV and how it is transmitted sexually but I really think you should forget about this episode. take care
zero risk
I am not a doc but have studied HIV/AIDS transmission for many years. This is not even something to remotely be worried about.

i stress that I am not a doc, but I really think that you have NOTHING To worry about. I have studied many websites and literature for years now and that is considered "common, everyday" activity and there has never been a case associated with that.
