Extremely worried about hiv transmission
3months back a girl i know who is hiv positive passed away and her relatives washed her deadbody which is refrigerated for 24hrsmainly forehead and feet with water by rubbing with wearing gloves and then they dipped their hand with glove in mug of water and then unknowingly i dipped my hand to pour water and my worry is i had small cuts on my thumb.Does this cause any transmission through my cuts ? Does deadbody secrete any infected fluids ? Is post nasal drip a sign of hiv ??
This answers all your HIV questions and if you think of any others, then you can get the answer if you just reread about the 3.
You had no risk for HIV so a test would be a waste of time.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk.
Post nasal drip is experienced by billions of negative people like you.

If small amount of blood which had high viral load get mixed up with that mug of water then is there any chance of virus transmission through my cut when i dipped my hand in that contaminated water? Sorry for asking you again just want to clear my doubt
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
Which of the 3 only risks do you feel that would be? Otherwise you are worried about a science fiction theory which has no chance of becoming reality since you created it but don't have any medical research background.
Actually 11weeks after that incident i got sore throat so that is why im worrying. Also got tested negative for hiv 4 months back before this incident took place. Is there any need to get tested again??
You evaded my question. You are worried about your science fiction theory which has no chance of becoming reality since you created it but don't have any medical research background.
