Glass cut foot

[Sophiawell]

I was just walking in the parking lot outside my doctors office and I cut my foot on  broken glass. There was a big pile of it and I had on open toed shoes. I even got a piece of glass stuck in my toe. Is there any chance of hiv Infection if someone else with the virus was cut with the same piece of glass? Thank you.

I agree I am more nervous about HIV than I used to be before last week, I wouldn't have even given this a second thought before then. D you agree with teak, that this isn't a risk? Thank you.

I suspect, looking through your posting history, that you're struggling with HIV anxiety.  I would recommend you seek out professional help.

Good luck.

Sorry I meant to say that since it was stuck in my toe and didn't come out right away, had to be picked out. But I assume your answer is the same. Thank you for all the hard work you do for this community

Doesn't matter where you were stuck, it wasn't a risk.

Even considering that the glass was stuck in my foot?

Not an HIV concern. 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.
