A member asked:
Is there any chance on a child get hiv infection if she touched a hiv positive persons scratch on his leg, then got her finger cut on that place where she touched it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries. It takes far more exposure than this to catch HIV. Probably nobody has ever been infected in this manner.
