But if infected blood comes into contact with flesh ot cut , it can get in touch with blood...Do u mean to say..until and unless blood is injected to vein..blood exposures are no risk ??

[Teak]

YES.....

[mylifeisinhell]

Is it compulsory to inject blood direct into VEIN in order to get infected ?

[LIZZIE LOU]

c'mon now...

so you want to believe that you were walking around
a discarded needle was lieing on the ground
the needle not only poked you in the foot but ALSO hit a vein
mysteriously blood was injected into your vein
and last but not least, the needle was used before from a hiv positive person

really?????

[mylifeisinhell]

here also the same case..if some blood was there on the needle, and it got poked..?

[LIZZIE LOU]

when someone injects themselves...their blood is drawn back into the syringe first.   then the same needle is used to inject someone else,  pushing the same blood from the first person into the second person's vein.
