Open wound
Hi. I was playing soccer on an artificial turf and did I slide tackle which scraped my
Knee and peeled my skin of blood was coming out. That same tackle the opponent scraped their knee too going for the ball, is there any chance of getting hiv from their blood if we both scrapped our knees and blood was coming out and touched my open wound ?

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

Thank you
