A member asked:
Is there a risk of getting hiv if there were traces of dried blood on a hard file at the salon and i also bled at the time of the file?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV is transmitted through broken skin, open wounds, but mostly through mucosal membranes which is not what above scenario describes. HIV does not survive on inanimate surfaces. A reliable site is cdc.gov in clarifying HIV transmission.
