Hiv from cotton swab?
I was cleaning out my ears with a cotton swab (pretty deep), took it out and noticed blood on it. I turned the cotton swab and put it in again and no blood came out of it, if the blooded that was on the swab was from an hiv infected person, could I be infected?
What's the difference between Sharing works with other IV drug abusers？The interval time is very short.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child
I use the same swab to clean ears with my friend, in a very short period of time inside.
I have the same doubt, although I know a little irrational. But I want to know, so have a risk? Need to explain why. Thank you.
