A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV: This virus does not penetrate through intact skin. If you want to read further go to the national library of congress web site and read one or more of the thousands of articles on HIV disease available. Good luck and best wishes. If you think you may have been exposed go and get tested. Always better safe than sorry.
