May be, you are annoyed with my repeated post. Following your advice, I have through away all info that I get from different anonymous websites. But again feeling worried when CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html) write Possible reason for getting HIV "Contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and HIV-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. These reports have also been extremely rare." So, still I have failed to get any conclusion. rare and zero chance is not same obviously.
Don't confuse the info from the website with the replies you obtain from the forum. We aren't responsible for incorrect information that you obtain from other forums.
Just for curiosity. I would be happy if Teak answer this question.
The body is a famous site regarding HIV related issues. They consider the meeting of fresh cut a low risk HIV concern. But here in medhelp, you people indicate as "not a HIV concern". So why this difference between two leading website regarding HIV.
