Are the posts true in this?

My situation involves a scenario such as this:

http://uk.*****************/question/index?qid=20120321170912AAw58Ot

"Blood will not become airborne. So, you are safe there. It is possible to get it through an open wound....HOWEVER to get it through an open wound. You and him would both need to have open wounds. By open wound, I mean you both need to be bleeding and then rub your bleeding wounds together. If either wound has stopped bleeding, you are perfectly safe."

"The answer is simple if you get Direct blood (as his blood spilling onto you, NOT AIR,) and it falls into your wound (which you are also BLEEDING, notice I said bleeding, because scabbing occurs very fast and HIV can not penetrate this layer of skin.) The chances of getting infected are very slim or non existent."

If you had a hemorrhaging would that rquird medical care (ie stitches) and so did another person, and you BOTH bled on each other, then yes, testing is warranted.

The risk would remain low.
