HIV through bleeding cuts

[tropicalguy81]

Dear Medhelp Forum,
                               Yesterday while i was sharpening pencil with a blade i got a cut in my finger & it was bleeding & seeing this  my friend took my finger to see the cut & he was a having a small bleeding wound & the bleeding in my friends finger is from the mosquito bite as he has the habit of scratching the place where mosquito has bitten him & my worry is that atleast for few seconds his bleeding wound & my finger which has got the cut would have came in contact & i dont know his HIV status,so is it a risk exposure & is there any chance of getting infected by this way?
So someone pl clarify my worry
Thanks for your support

Please do- if you cannot and these types of superficial injuries bother you then consider speaking with a counselor.

Ok so shall i move on without worrying about this right?Even though its not a risk,whenever this incident comes to the mind am totally disturbed.

Read what has been written, if it is not a risk, then why would you need to test?

[tropicalguy81]

Any testing is required?As blood to blood contact is always a risky exposure am worried on this part else no need to worry for this?

Deep cuts are of concern not little tiny scratches or small cuts.You never had a risk.

[tropicalguy81]

Am totally worried about this incident & its bothering me so much.

Yep, that's what I mean.

[tropicalguy81]

So u mean to say its a no risk exposure?even though both the cuts which came in contact bleeds still a no risk situation?

[jhguy011]

Not a risk. Superficial wounds aren't a worry.
