biting

[mduind]

which type of Human bite needs hiv testing? OR when a transmission occurs by human bite? Ann told in forums.poz.com "not one ever been infected by biting". But the link http://www.aidsmap.com/resources/Biting/page/1322751/ says there were 4 cases of hiv transmission by human bite. Further the site tells that "A follow-up of thirty healthcare workers who cared for a patient with AIDS who bit them showed no cases of seroconversion". All the four cases were bitten on their hand or finger. I would like to know the fact from Teak, Vance2335, mike_no, Alienshadow and Lizzie Lou beacuse they know the hiv science very well. In our country India the majority official websites didnt tell about the risk from the biting.

any test and every test is conclusive when there was NO RISK

Nine week elisa negative result is conclusive for the above incident?

Teak did answer you question already. a small cut is not enough to give a way for virus to come in to your bloodstream or veins / tissue.

You didnt answer my present question.
