A member asked:
Is it possible that i got infected with hiv from someone cutting me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES AND NO: The virus can live on any surface for about 10 days so if the instrument that cut you was used to cut someone else or the person who is HIV positive if both are positive than it is possible especially if the cut is deep.
