Does HIV transmit from one person to another person if they scratch you?
hi doc!
Recently I have had been scrathed by a woman accidentally on my
arms several times while we played! the scratch was more like a cut. I don't really know if she is hiv
positive and I have never had SEX with her. but, my concern is, if she were to have hiv, would I get it.
Thank you
Thank you very much! You have been a great help to me and to others who are seeking help! Once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH:-)
correct only by unprotected anal/vaginal sex, sharing iv drug needles and mother to child. It doenot survive outside the host.
Thank you very much for your respond:-)! and just to make it clear, HIV is not transmitted from one person to another person if you get scratched even if they are HIV positive. And how long does it take for the HIV virus to be inactive or dead . Thank you
