HIV transmission

Is it possible for HIV to be transmitted if my fresh cut comes in contact with another persons fresh cut for abou 2-3 minutes ?
Or HIV is not transmitted this way ?
And can any other STD infect me this way ?

Hand Shaking an HIV positive person with cuts on your hand and cuts on theirs, will not transmit HIV. Transmission takes place inside the body. Unprotected vaginal/anal sex, sharing needles for drugs and mother to baby. Its a simple concept that if you keep in mind you shouldn't have any worry in the future...

NO RISK from shaking hands...your hand was bleeding and the other persons hand were bleeding and you shook hands for 2-3 minutes?
