A member asked:
Can someone catch aids infection through a non-bleeding wound if it touches the blood of an infected person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extremely unlikely: In theory there might be a small risk from such exposure. However, there are no reported cases that this has ever happened. So nothing to worry about.
