A member asked:
Can hiv be transmitted from used blade if it has got blood on it and if i get a cut on my pimples and blood starts oozing out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you do not have HIV and the blood on the blade is yours only then no. However if you are talking about a used blade with the blood of others then if there is HIV in that blood and it mixes into your blood than yes you could contract hiv. Its difficult to transmit and generally needs a large volume of blood semen etc but its still possible. Best not to use a used dirty blade forget about hiv.
