A member asked:
Can hiv enter your body through your nose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is not the type of germ you acquire breathing in through your nose. If you stuck a bleeding finger of an HIV positive person up your nose enough to trigger nasal bleeding I could see that is a way it could come through your nose. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.
