Chance of hiv from a cut by an object inside a public refrigerator ? ive heard cold temperature makes hiv virus live longer on surfaces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV transmission is not possible in above described scenario, HIV does not survive on inanimate surfaces, check cdc.gov for accurate information regarding HIV transmission. Other superficial infections remain possible and watching the wound until healed would be recommended.
