what situation cause blood infection?
Dear all:
I have a question about in what situation can blood cause infection.I mean what kind of wound can cause this.Some doctors say about 200ul blood can make people get infection,is that true?just care about the content of the blood but no content of the virus?Except drugs,can kiss or bite or wound in body cause infection when it touch blood?(On condition that the blood comes from someone who get infected and the wound in our body is bleeding)

not tooth brushing bleeding gums - that's a tiny amount of blood, but a large wound with streaming blood might have enough hiv to survive the hiv pathanogenic environment of the mouth with the saliva, proteins and bacteria that all strip hiv of its infectiousness. you are obviously overthinking this and i'd love to have a bet with you about you not being infected from this. that would be money in the bank for me :)
no, unless the person has serious oral wounds, then the likelihood of hiv transmission is very very remote.
That means the chance is really really small?what i want to konw mostly is whether the amount of the blood in others' mouse can cause infection?can bleeding gums makes lots of blood?
not personally of course, but i have heard of a few cases - a tiny amount in an occurance that must have happened thousands of times. it would literally be a freak occurance.
well, this is a real 'what if' question. an unlikely event, but i suppose if this actually happened then there could be a small risk. a 28 day 4th gen combo will give you the conclusive answer.
eh~and what about a bite,if the wound is fresh,and the other one has bleeding gums?
a 'French' kiss? of so. a minute risk i suppose, but really remote and nothing to worry about.
So as your reply，1 kiss,when they all have bleeding gums
2break by teeth,the wound is fresh and bleeding,others has bleeding gums,
situation like these can cause infection or not?

i've read widely that you need to be exposed to a lot of blood as well as having a fairly significant recent wound yourself to be at risk in a blood to blood situation as you are describing. also, you are correct in the many factors that influence the infection probability, such as the viral load of the hiv+ person, the exposure time, the time that the blood had been exposed to the environment and so on. it's an extremely complex question - almost unanswerable. basically, if your wound was not really fresh and you were not exposed to a large volume of tainted blood, than the risk is very low indeed.
