How what is the amount of blood that needs to be transferred successfully in order to create a threat of catching hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV : This is not how one discusses risk for hiv. Any blood that is fresh is at risk of transmitting hiv. Hiv, the virus, weighs one millionth of one gram. Billions of viruses circulate in the blood in an untreated individual. Also at risk in the blood is the HIV infected white cells which is another way that HIV can be transmitted between humans.
