Just a myth. No it is not possible to be infected in that manner with HIV.
Thanks for your explanation.
From your viewpoint, HIV can not reproduce and keep infectious outside living host, am I right? But there is a rumor in China. It is said that some HIV takers want to take revenge on the public so they hide the needle stained with their blood in bus or taxi in order to make another get HIV. What do you think about the rumor? Is it possible to infect HIV like this?
It was explained to you.
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
Thanks for your response. Could you please explain why I am not at risk, if possible ?
NOT a risk for HIV in any way shape or form.
You shouldn't be worried at all as HIV is most definitely not transmitted that way.
On a side note...you might want to bring your own snacks. The establishment you describe seems a tad unsanitary, but no concern for HIV.
No ! HIV does not spread via any contact except,
1. Unprotected anal or vaginal sex
2. Sharing IV works in drugs
3. Transfusion of un screened blood
4. From mother to child
