HIV by needle type objects in daily life .
Before asking my question I read many message on this site . Every where there is told that
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with.
I am working in wooden shop of making furniture. Many times it happens that I got pricked by little pieces of wood in showing to customers. Actually wooden pieces are just like needle and sometimes goes in finger deep but not too much deep . But leads to bleeding sometimes and some part of wooden pieces remain inside skin also . I am worried about if I immediately got pricked by some HIV positive person as these wooden pieces are just like needle some times long also. Please suggest . Thank you.

So, you've read enough here to know what the risks are. Great. Now, how would wood working needle sticks be something that transmits hiv? Not even a needle. A wood splinter. No, as in ZERO, risk. Air inactivates the virus (if a piece of wood could be HIV infected somehow). INJECTING with needles is quite different than just being stuck by one or something like a needle. The end in that case is exposed to air and therefore, creates a situation in which no hiv will transmit. So, no risk

Thank you so much for giving reply . If something wood splinters some part remain inside under skin still no risk even it is just pricked by another Person?
I am thinking like if some portion(top) of wood splinter remains inside skin that may have virus on it, then there may problem ?
If some portion of wood splinter with some virus( from another persion immediately pricked ) remains inside deep in finger then ?
