is this a risk of HIV?
I went to visit some land with friends. When I walked through some bushes I got pricked by some rose thorns (I was wearing shorts). Now, I am scared that some of my friends who were walking in front of me could have gotten pricked before me. They were wearing sports pants which aren´t very thick so there is a possibility the thorns pricked them too.
Am I at risk of HIV if the thorns pricked any of my friends and then myself? or would my friend´s blood in the horns be retained in their pant´s fabric, posing no risk to me?
Many thanks for your replies! I am very scared.
