A member asked:
How many hiv viruses are present in urine? can you get infected if you are exposed to the sufficient amount of hiv infected urine on open cuts? how about hematuria? the internet just says urine doesn't contain hiv.

Usually no: HIV is present in and usually transmitted in body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal discharge and breast milk. Small amount of the virus is present in feces, urine, saliva, tears and sweat. However, there is little clinical evidence to suggest that that these body fluid transmit HIV unless blood is present in them. For eg kissing is usually considered safe.
