worried please help
I was fishing with someones hooks at a local river.I doubt that he is HIV positive. I used that hook next day also. . I caught at least 10 fishes and then accidentally pricked myself with that hook. But there was no any human blood in that hook when i was pricked. So my concern is if that hook pricked someone who is positive HIV before me is it possible to be infected with HIV/Aids from that? But there was no human blood in that hook. please reply...........
Thanks... but i am too worried.. is there any chance of getting infected?? or its completely safe..??
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 abusers
Mother to child
You never had an exposure.
