A member asked:
Would it be possible to get hiv if you tested yourself for covid with a soiled stick? like, if it was touched with dirty hands/gloves prior to be inserted into nasal cavity?

Very unlikely: Should be essentially no chance of HIV virus being transmitted by a neutral object like this I would wonder why you ask this? Perhaps you have tested positive for HIV & are trying to figure out where the contact happened? Usually must be transmitted by blood, saliva, semen via direct contact.
