No risk. HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
Thanks for your immediately answer!
But I still have a question, is that even my wound exposed to his HIV blood,even the worst situation, Ｉstill no risk ? i scare that his nail has lots of HIV blood. can you tell me why?
last question , a million thanks.
