exposure???

[audrey2ad]

Hello
a year ago my friends boyfriend came to my house holding a bottle of wine.I noticed his thumb had a big wound and was very bloody.When i asked him he told me it was from a dog bite.Without touching the wound i gave him a bandage.Then he put the bottle in the fridge.My question is if the bottle had blood on it and was put in the fridge will the virus stay active for a long time.And if later on i touched the bottle and i had a wound could i get hiv??
thank you
please answer

"if later on i touched the bottle and i had a wound could i get hiv??" - Being exposed to someone else's blood in small amounts, even with a small cut, will NOT place you at risk since the virus has to reach the bloodstream.  Because the skin consists of several layers, injuries such as paper cuts etc., begin healing IMMEDIATELY from the inside out which means the virus cannot penetrate deep enough to reach the bloodstream.

In the absence of a cut etc., the hand is keratanized skin, which is too thick for most bacteria and virus to penetrate (HIV).

Moreover, HIV does not survive well outside the body, this means that it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

Thank you for your answer!so you think that even if the virus was faced with the low temperatures of the refrigerator it would have died?
