A member asked:

Not repeat of the previous question. when we discuss deep cuts of an object, for hiv does this entail a cut that is massively bleeding and require stitches? or any cut that causes any type of bleeding?

If there is no visible wet blood and/or the sharp object has been in the environment more than a few hours (maybe only a few minutes), the depth of other severity of the injury makes no difference. No risk of HIV or other blood borne viruses.
