No risk: Your child is at no risk of getting HIV from what you described. Make sure the child gets her vaccinations. Wish you and your daughter good health!

HIV: Transmitted by activities in which bodily fluids are exchanged. As long as your child nishealathy, has been seeing a Pediatrician regularly, and is current with all ofnher vaccinations, she should heal uneventfully. If you are concerned, see her Pediatrician for an examination.
