Hiv and thorn inside skin.

[Dahiyasahan]

What are chances of getting hiv infection if thorn cut immediately after hiv positive person (Not conform) and some part of thorn remain inside the skin .  Actually this happen with me when playing in ground with many people . There were also some people those usually having sex without protection in my village. I know that thorn cut is not high risk but main problem is what if some part of thorn remain inside my leg skin . I removed it at my home use needle .  Please suggest me . Thanks .

There was no risk involved.  

Below are three major risk in adults for HIV contraction

1. Unprotected insertive anal or vaginal sex.
2. PWID - Needle sharing.
3. Transmission through blood transfusion. (This is rare as most blood products and blood transfusion are subjected to preliminary screening.)

This is the second time you have posted about an incident that doesn't posses HIV transmission risk. You seem to be young, I recommend you to read about HIV and it's transmission in the FAQ section of the forum to gain information.

No, still not a risk. HIV can't infect once it is seperated from it's host.

HIV is a sexually transmitted disease, I have told you the above risk for HIV transmission. Please read what is told to you and move on.

You were advised in this thread, and your previous thread (https://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/Steeping-on-needle-at-road-and-hiv-confusion--/show/3043362) about the only ways that HIV can be transmitted.  There is no need to continue asking about other, no-risk events like this one.
