A member asked:
Is urine capable of transmitting the hiv virus from one to another through the palm of your hands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It's not transmitted that way. I could explain the theoretical reasons ; reassure you that casual household contacts, even where the children are affected, don't turn positive, but i'm really more concerned that you should even ask in this day and age. If this unrealistic fear is obsessing you, talk with your personal physician.
