Am i at HIV risk? Any test
I am in Vietnam. Yesterday i went to the gay sauna. It is so dark therefore I hit to an cabinet and there was a scratch on my shoulder. I wonder that i am at HIV risk by this event. I worry alot today. can i get infection from a scratch by contaminated objects ( if there are blood semen on the cabinet i hit)
No, HIV is not spread in this way.
No what ifs or buts. You won’t get HIV via a scratch.
Any contaminated fluids that are extremely unlikely to be present will not contain viable HIV and a scratch is not sufficient of a wound to allow access.

That was answered because you asked it before too.
Correct can’t catch HIV this way.
