I am scared
I gave birth to my son two weeks ago. when I was in hospital, there was a HIV -infected woman treated on my next bed. My perineum and vagina were seriously torn when i gave birth to my son, and my anus also had a wound. What my afraid is,
I put some warm water into my washbasin, then I put my hand into the water to feel the temperature,the problem is I used this hand touched the public tap few seconds ago, I hope to know if there was some fresh blood of that HIV woman left on the tap, and my hand stained her HIV blood, then I put my hand into my water, then I use such water to clean my bleeding perineum and anus, can I be infected HIV ? I cannot sleep now, I am scared!!

I didn't describe well just now, so sorry to bother you again nursegirl6572,please forgive me.
You said"You couldn't have been exposed to anything that would place you at risk in that situation, and YES, that means with your wounds and all. "
Do you mean although I had bleeding wound on my perineum and anus, and there was blood on the tap, i still couldn't have a risk at that situation?

You're not listening.
You cannot get HIV in this manner. People with HIV live lifetimes with their negative partners and other family members, sharing bathrooms, showers, utensils, eating surfaces, etc...and they never get infected.

Thank you very much! But can you tell me why？I know HIV virus cannot live on those subjects, but how about the HIV blood? And I know that perineum and anus have the most chance to get infected by HIV virus, and I really had bleeding wound on them, so I cannot ease myself. Hope your reply, thank you very much!

You cannot catch HIV from intimate objects such as faucets, doorknobs, toilet seats, towels, etc. You have zero reason for concern with HIV.

thank you for reply！since the room was dark，i couldnot see whether there was blood on the tap or not，i just wonder if the hiv woman blood really on the tap, do I have risk?
U had no risk.
You wouldnt touch the tap, If there were some blood on it. Also by putting your hand into water would dilute the blood.
