So can I ask very very small hollow like this , or small hollow pin .if somebody got stuck and this guy is HIV+ ,then I got stuck soon , am I become infected ?? I really need some professional iead . Pls kindly explian to me . Thank you !

how do you think of my question , about hollow and about pins ? Pls kindly help me . I appreciate your kindness .
hiv is not transmitted through environmental surfaces or inanimate objects. once exposed to air, it becomes inactive and unable to infect.
it is not irrational for the feather issue . if you can help explain ,i really appreciate that ,
