A member asked:
Lets just say you got hiv infected urine on the palm of the hands, can hiv be transmitted this way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If this is the first time you've asked, please accept my reassurance, with the hope you'll practice better hygiene. Urine doesn't ordinarily contain the virus even in infected individuals, and it's not going to go from the surface into your bloodsteam. If you are the person who's already asked six times previously, please see your physician about these obsessive thoughts -- you can be helped.
