Sneeze on Injury

Hello People,

Today I was at the garden under our apartment and there was a man on the balcony on the 2nd floor. He sneezed so powerful out of balcony (it was a very loud sound!) and as a reflex I immediatly turned by head up to look and some of his fluids came direct on me while I was in the garden. I had a bleeding cut on my finger at that moment, and also when I looked up with a reflex I'm afraid some of the sneeze came into my nose hole.

I know HIV is not transmitted via saliva, however I wonder if he had some blood in his sneeze, will that put me under risk assuming he is HIV+? And it came on my bleeding injury.

All the best

Yuck!.  Haha.  No my friend, you have nothing to worry about.  Think about it.  If HIV could be transmitted that way, then the whole world would have it.  It simply does not happen like that.  As far as blood goes, yes it can transmit HIV under the right circumstances, but you would practically have to have a gaping fresh wound and an extreme amount of HIV infected blood dumped directly into the wound to even begin to worry.  I don't know if it is true, but my doctor told me that there have actually been cases where people have received blood transfusions with infected blood and still did not contract HIV.  

What makes you think the man had HIV anyways?  Less than one percent of the US population is infected with HIV and many consider that to be a highly conservative number.  

You are ok my friend.  Go have some fun and enjoy life.  

Remember, ALWAYS USE CONDOMS WHEN HAVING SEX outside of a monogomous relationship.  Never approach sex pros (CSW's) or the like for sex.  Just use your hand and save some money.  LOL, just joking.  I know you didn't engage in any of these activities and don't deserve the lecture, but I feel that it is my responsibility to pass on these warnings to everyone who will listen.  I would like to see this disease erradicated.  Too many have been lost.  

God bless you my friend.

I think I know you, you are the same guy with a new ID, you always come up with superficial scenarios and keep bleeding all the time

Yeah, TedPikul right ?

Any ways, it's a NO RISK incident, HIV doesn't happen that way.
