A member asked:
If you get blood from a person with hiv on your finger but you have no open sores of wounds should you be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SHOULD BE OK: HIV has to enter the blood stream somehow. So if there is no open wound and you wash well it should be fine. It will not enter just through the skin in other words
