Can hiv transmitted via foot warts of step on hiv infected fluids

Hello, may i get advice on any chance that hiv transmission might occur via foot warts if stepping on ejaculated cum or blood by accident (lets say from a hiv infected person or with status unknown) because i read from a few articles stated that genital warts will increase the risk of hiv transmission.

You had another thread where risks were described to you.  The risks for HIV are very clear. They include 1. having penetrating unprotected vaginal intercourse, 2. having penetrating unprotected anal intercourse or 3. sharing injectable IV drug needles.  Those are the only risks.  You previously asked about oral sex. That is not a risk because air and saliva are involved. Anything that you describe here also has air involved, does it not?  You can't get HIV from a foot touching a wart.  There is NO credible source that says that has ever happened. There is not a proven case ANYWHERE. So, this is another NON risk you are asking about and ANYTHING that is not one of the above three mentioned activities is a non risk.  Please apply that to your future questions as you should be able to then know the answer on your own and not have anxiety over your activity.

Hi,

You describe an unlikely event to begin with. So the chance would be zero.  

No need to worry about stepping on ejaculated cum or blood, as we wear  shoes.

Thank you for your replied, the reason that i am asking because im having a foot wart and had a light fun with a stranger during shower, he came on the floor and i might have stepped on it (we were bare footed) as i felt a pricking sensation on the wart affected area. So would like to seek for your advice. Would i be having any risk of hiv?
