A member asked:

My friend has hiv, i wore his cap, i noticed that his cap has some fresh blood in it when i wear, i also has some wounds(fresh) on my head, can i get hiv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Although very improbable, fresh blood from an hiv+ person applied to an open wound of an hiv-negative person could theoretically cause infection in the latter. If this has occurred would suggest that you see an HIV specialist and be tested at standard intervals.
