A question about HIV...


Hi guys,

I went to Africa 3 weeks ago and went to a club, didn't hook up with anyone, didn't share needles nothing like that..but when I went in the bouncer stamped my arm with a stamp, but he did it quite hard and it created a very tiny little cut. My question is, could HIV possibly have passed on from one person onto the stamp and then to me? The stamp was not needle shaped or sharp, but I can't get this thought out of my head that I may have caught something.

I hope i've posted this in the correct section!

Thanks in advance.

No, HIV could never be transmitted in that manner.
