Hiv Risk?
Few days back after my workout in gym I went for a shower. The floor was wet before and during my shower one of my finger accidentally touched the floor. I then clean my penis including tip of head using same hand. So is there any chance of hiv infection if infected bodily fluid is present in floor?
People get HIV from having unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse (penetrating) or sharing of IV drug needles. The transference has to take place INSIDE the body. You can not get HIV from a surface like a floor. Air inactivates the virus. So, this is in no way a risk for HIV.
