Hiv transmission through environmental exposure to blood

[Kemooo83_]

I have phobia all the time about hiv transmission through environmental exposure through droplets of blood as i always suffer from abrasions in my hand and also from eating food if my hand has touched hiv blood because i always suffer also from bleeding gums

Everyone has cuts on their hands but no one ever got hiv that way or you would read about it happening to kids and grandmothers.

What do you mean happening to kids and grand mother

He means that if you could get HIV through environmental exposures, every single person in this world would be infected with HIV by now.  Your scenario is impossible.  You cannot get HIV through "environmental exposures" such as the event you described.

None of the things you've mentioned here are a risk for HIV. There is no such thing as environmental exposure. It's not how HIV is spread. In an adult, only unprotected anal/vaginal sex and sharing drug needles with infected users carry a risk for infection. You will not get infected by touching blood or by accidentally ingesting blood, even with cuts, scrapes, papercuts, whatever. No risk.

Even if i have bleeding gums daily,
If ingested food with blood and i have bleeding gums, is it a risk?

[Chima7]

Yes, even if all of those things, it's still no risk.
