A member asked:

Possible hiv exposure or not likely? mechanic on my car cut hand on car part. minutes later i touched bloody spot cut myself. likely? hiv stat unknown

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Two men cut themselves on exactly the same part of an automobile within minutes of one another? We care about you, man, and we understand you are concerned. If you cut yourself on fresh blood, seek prophylaxis. If there's something else worrying you as well that you can't share, then get prophylaxis as well -- and remember you can share anything with your physician, who's your true friend.
