any idea on healing of cuts? i read that the healing takes place from inside out. is the wound layer which protects the infection is a red/black colored top layer fomed on the cuts after few minutes? what if that layer is removed by slightly scratching it (not to bleeding)? still the wound protects from infection?

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
