Q: can hiv gain access to the blood the stream through a cut that started to heal small cut 2 days old contact with possible hiv tainted blood , thank you?

: It would be theoretically possible, but hiv organisms in 2 day old dried blood would be negligible. However, in fresh blood there's possible transmission through a partially healed cut on your skin. Get instructions and advice from your public health department.
