Sorry doctors disturbance because i have a lot of questions about hiv transmission because i had contact with dry surface contaminated with hiv blood about ten days ago so am so confused, my question is can hiv be transmitted through fresh blood only?

Infection with HIV by blood requires direct introduction of the contaminated blood into one's own bloodstream. You've been asking repeated questions about this and apparently having trouble understanding or believing the advice you have had. It's time to stop asking on HealthTap. Thank you.
