HIv transmission
Can HIV be transmitted if semen got underneath a fingernail? In otherwords, is the tissue underneath the fingernail vulnerable to passing HIV into the blood stream?
Thanks to everyone
Thanks to everyone
James -- I'm not sure what you mean, perhaps you are referring to another person ( i did find another fingernail related questions but that questioner seemed to be asking if HIV fluids could maintain infectious virus when put in the mouth -- my question was whether or not the virus could pass in through the fingernail itself)
Regardless, I have one more question im hoping you all could help me with. If HIV infected fluids were mixed together with body wash ( and i mean when the body wash was being rubbed all around the body so as to make it very foamy ) would that be enough to ensure it could not transmit the virus?
