Yes,because hiv is unable to reproduce outside its living host,it becomes inactive and thus unable to infect.
thank you very much .You mean that if my scalp and his nails both blooded ,the action is alsame safe ?
No risk to you.Hiv transmission occurs inside the body not outside and besides,hiv is not transmitted by someones nails scratching you.Your safe.
