What is unintact skin for HIV?
by hemsky111, Aug 15, 2008 11:14PM
I'm not too sure why my last post was deleted, but nobody answered my question. I know HIV can't infect through intact skin, but what constitutes unintact skin that could be a potential for infection? Would irritation cause a portal, or a scratch? Would the keratin layer of the skin need to be broken, or would the cut have to be bleeding?

SKIN TO SKIN HAS NO CHANCE TO GET HIV. IF CURRENTLY BLEEDING BOTH SKIN IN SAME TIME, THERE IS VERY SMALL CHANCE TO GET.
If my perianal skin was inflamed/irritated, but I saw no bleeding, would that even be a possible port? Or would there need to be actual active bleeding?
