A member asked:
Can i get hiv if i touch any object or surface with hiv contaminated blood or body fluid and theres a cut / scratch etc on me there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Technically yes as HIV is transmitted through the bloodstream. HIV can survive on surfaces for several hours. 4th generation testing negative at 3 weeks and again at 90 days from exposure is conclusive.
