Blood on door handle
I cut myself one night and didnt realize it. When I got home about 5 to 10 minutes later, I opened the community door( live in a apartment) and there was someelse's blood on the handle. Can I get HIV this way?? Since my cut touched some else's cut?
Ok but the cut was about 5 minutes old. Is there still a chance?? Im having really bad anxiety about this! Isnt blood on blood a transmitter???
Im thinking that the blood on the handle was dried?? How long does HIV suvrive on a surface??

HIV virus does not survive outside its host and since your cut was also not instant, you are not infected by HIV.
