Pimple scare!
I had a big boil on my back.i mean they come and go.i have to use anti bacterial cream or use heat to remove these boils.they bleed a lot...and I mean really lot.a few days ago while they were bleeding and there was a little pus on these spots.assuming I had exposure of blood on these boils can hiv spread this way?
Also is these type of wound be considered an open wound..I mean I never required stitches I guess..but they bleed a lot.

No I did not share a needle or had unprotected sex.The boil I had was actively bleeding dn and I maybe had contact.so is there any need for testing?
