hello. i was scratched by a cat that a few seconds before scratched another person. this person bled, but just a bit. also, i bled, but the scratches were not very deep i think. can i get hiv/aids this way, if the person that was scratched the first was infected?

Well your thinking is not right. 1 a scratch is a scratch, superficial. 2 any blood would be too minimal. 3 HIV not tranmitted outside of the body...etc.

i was thinking that a little bit of blood from that person entered in my blood through my scratch, being given the fact that i had a few scratches from that cat, not only one, and also because only a few seconds passed after it scratched that guy, before scratching me
