A member asked:
Can you get aids from blood to blood contact through a person that is not infected with the aids hiv virus?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, but others....: Blood or body fluid contact from someone who is not hiv/aids positive will not cause hiv/aids in the other person. However, there are other infectious diseases that one should also be concerned about. This includes hepatitis b and hepatitis c. See your physician if you are even the slightest bit concerned.

No: Hiv transmission requires that the donor be hiv+. The blood supply in th us is screened for hiv.
