A member asked:
What are the chances of contracting hiv from a public bathroom if you came into contact with someone elses blood and you had a open wound that might have been exposed to the blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You should know HIV does not last long outside the body. The too many assumptions with your question. First you have to assume that blood stain is from an infected person then the blood has to be quite fresh so the HIV is still alive and then you are infested your open wound with that blood. I would say the chance is like winning a 6 number lotto.
