A member asked:
Can i transmit hiv if my blood/plasma is on earrings and there's no oxygen between the ear needle and the ear clasp? it wouldn't
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Only if it is fresh blood and someone else pierces themselves with the earring sharp. This hasn't been recorded but would be the same as needle sharing. What's actually happening?
