Can i get hiv from a fingernail scratch? i got it from a football game outdoor and the temperature is about 30 celcius degree?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nobody ever caught HIV in this way. No risk at all. Don't get tested for HIV unless you are at risk as a result of sexual exposure or injection drug use.
