Blood on Hand

Just a quick one. Is it possible to aquire Hiv this way?

Shaking hands with a guy who has Hiv and who has fresh blood on his hand and then immidiately rubbing your own eyes with the same blood which has been transfered on to your hands / fingers ?

Thanks alien shadow - Anymore feedback on this from anyone else - I read that hiv does not survive well outside its host so Flippen I think you are ok especially if the blood had been there for a while. Not sure so much about mine. Teak , Lizzie etc any input on this please?

i have the same problem. I picked up a white cloth that was in my front year, and there was red stuff(looked like blood) on it. I had no open wounds or anything, but if i rubbed my eye, can i contract hiv?
