A member asked:
If u have cracked skin from ddermatitis/ecsma or open burn blisters, small cuts do any of them let in hcv or hiv and when is a cut no longer open?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can happen: Hcv and HIV can be transmitted by blood exposure. Once a cut has lost sensitivity it's usually closed.
