A member asked:
Can fluids be absorbed from the palms directly into the bloodstream such as hiv infected urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV Paranoia: First there is no such thing as HIV urine. Hiv is not contagious from urine in infected individuals. Second, skin, especially the palm of your hands, is a very good barrier to HIV and there is no risk of transmission through your skin.
