A member asked:
Can hiv virus be transmitted if a person touches a vinyl chair that had blood on it that that was not cleaned properly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk: HIV is never transmitted by exposure to blood or infected fluids in the environment. If no sex and no needle sharing, there is no risk for HIV. Don't worry about it.
