A member asked:
Hi i was swimming in the ocean with a girl and we both got cut on some jagged rocks is there a risk of hiv from this if the girl was positive ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low: As the sea water would dilute the virus and likely wash it away. However if you were both on rocks and there is a pool of blood and the other person contacts that with broken skin/ cuts - then transmission could be possible.
