Can you catch hiv from touching hiv infected urine with the palm of the hands? no breaks in the skin.

No HIV Risk: Nope. First HIV is not transmitted through urine. Ever. Second, HIV does not infect the skin. Skin is a complete barrier to HIV infection. This is not how HIV is caught. There is zero risk here.
