A member asked:
I was bitten by someone who's hiv positive and i got a welt. it was through my sweater. is there any risk of me getting hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: If there was no directly contact of saliva with broken skin, it is virtually impossible. With a sweater in the way, the answer would be no.
