Open wound

Hey Doctor:
      I come from Beijing China, because my English is not very good.So I hope you can understand what I said.I have some questions, hope you can get the answer.
1、A bleeding wound, exposure to blood is in danger?
2、A bleeding wound if infected with HIV, what condition needs?
3、I'm a bleeding wound, contact others just drop a drop of blood on the paper.I am in danger?
4、Blood infection amounts is many?Some people say 200 microliters of fresh blood dripping onto the bleeding wound?
5、I cut my finger on a knife cut, the wound is bleeding, contact with someone else's blood.I need to test?

It's up to you if you want to test but it will be negative because you had no risk.

I'm still a student, has recently been bothered by the question.Chinese doctors are afraid of responsibility, no one dare to give you that you have no problem.I don't know who I should believe?To test, I want peace of mind to review, but the problem has been bothering me.Also, you think Abbott test strip high accuracy rate?If a man for eight weeks by Abbott test was negative, can eliminate?

In our China, doctors and consultants that there is a lot of mistrust between.Such a problem is that I don't know who to ask about the wound, a lot to say.Some people say that there is danger, some people say no.So I choose foreign website.Your view is worth me trusting?I was really all right?I also like Australia, if there is a chance that I will go.

You don't need to test unless you and the other person both had huge open bleeding wounds and they came into contact with eachother.

You were already told how HIV is transmitted.The only way HIV is a risk from blood to blood is if both people had gaping wounds and they came into direct contact.
