have any idea how many layers of skin we have?
wounds start healing almost immediately from the inside out...sealing off any "entry" into the bloodstream.
you had no risk and do not need testing.
HIV is transmitted by:
Unprotected vaginal and/or anal sex
IV drug users
Mother to unborn/nursing child
Any response in providing a explantion from a knowledgeable person would be greatly appreciated, I just am confused based on my understanding and Vance's response. I promise there will be no further follow up to this posts.
Hi Vance, thnx for you prompt response. I was curious why you state that it does not transmit outside the body, i thought that hiv coming in contact with a wound would cause infection. Because the scabs were not fully healed until when i went to the strip bar and even after that i had touched them they would bleed slightly on the surface, not a lot but just slightly like a smudge. So the secrections from her hands would have gotten onto the wound when opened up by her running her fingers on my scalp.
I hope my question is a bit more clear. Sorry if i dont understand but I just needed some re-assurance.
You had no risk. HIV is not transmitted outside of the body.
