hi,

IF both your cuts were (fresh/bleeding) AND both your cuts were rubbed directly on each other, there might be a risk.

I personally think you are worrying over nothing because unless you deliberately rubbed your cuts together, the odds are extremely low that they would come into contact with each other. and his cut would have to be fresh too.  Do you understand?

how old are you and where are you from?

thank you I come from china and I am 28, I am not sure whether he has some cut on his hand when he scratch me,can you to give me some more Suggestions？

hi again,

you don't have a risk.

like i said before. it would take two deep fresh wounds (and direct rubbing/contact) of the wounds for there to be a risk. if he had serious cuts (ones that would pose a threat) you would have seen them. no risk.

my wound was not deep but long 3 long nail scratch as my wound can it cause me catch hiv?

At no time were you ever at risk of contracting HIV in the situation you've provided.
