Is there any risk of hiv infection if a little child put some toys in her mouth and there`s something red on it, like blood? is there any risk if there`s some seemingly non bleeding cut on her hand and touches a blood stain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, there is no HIV transmission risk in above scenario from inanimate surfaces. Check cdc.gov hiv-transmission for clarification.
