hand blister

[finnbox]

I have a one day old fairly large blister on my right thumb, it "popped" yesterday.

Today I shook some questionable guys hand (firm handshake) is this a problem?

If iput sanitizer on the blister it burns however no blood.

In case this is no reason to worry, can cou catch anything through social contact, even with little cuts blisters etc?

Thanks.

NO.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Alright, the virus survival is said to be a few minutes "outside" the body, hence my question.

"In case this is no reason to worry, can cou catch anything through social contact, even with little cuts, blisters etc? "

It's not so easy to find adequate resources on specifics.

Thank you.

NO risk

hiv transmission takes place INSIDE the body
