I got a small cut with a paper. After that I happened to touch a paper which had a bit of blood, semi dried with the same tip of finger which got cut.my cut part touched the blood semi dried on the other paper. Any risk of getting hiv, is this a risk.
No need to test as you did not have any exposure. I dont know who you asked but this is a HIV forum and we answer questions of this nature every day and are monitored by Medhelp staff and if we give any wrong information it will be deleted. This is the answer you will get from this site and if you not convinsed then there is nothing more we can add.
Thanx for the confirmation. I asked a few people around and they said it may be a risk! Iam really concerned. Has anybody got hiv in this manner, shud I test!
Thanks,can I forget about this incident and carry on. Is there a slightest risk at all? Do I need to worry about it? Can I have unprotected sex with my wife!
It does not survive outside the host. The 3 i mentioned is how its transmitted. It needs a protective enviornment to be at risk.
Thank u sir, I touched my cut hand but paper cut with hiv positive blood ! Is this not a matter of concern. Shud I test
Hi HIV is not contracted by what you describe. It is contracted by unprotected vaginal/anal penitrative sex, sharing iv drug needles and mother to child.
We cannot guarantee when your question will be answered. As I mentioned, all of the members who respond to questions are volunteers - they do not get paid to respond to questions, and they respond as they have time. Additionally, this is a holiday week and many people around the world take vacations.
Please do not keep posting requests for others to answer you. This forum is monitored by volunteers, and they answer questions when they are able to. It is not reasonable to expect an instant response. Thank you for your patience.
