Is my daughter at risk
Hi, I have a question. I took my daughter to the park yesterday and she was playing in the playground and she felt down to the ground and somehow she hurt her lip and started bleeding, my question is, for example if there was dried blood there would she had been at risk for HIV if it came in contact with her mouth at the moment she felt down and cut her lip? I'm concerned. It was at a kids playgrund, so I'm sure a lot of accidents happen there, where kids get hurt often. Thank you!
There are no reported cases of people getting HIV in that way. HIV is only transmitted by unprotected vaginal or anal penetrative sex, sharing needles or mother to child. You have nothing to worry about.

Thank you, yeah from what I have read here and other websites it states once it hits the air the infection dies.
