Hiv through accidental cuts

[TriciaLexis]

Hi, Sorry for my bad English, not a native speaker!

I would like to know if it's possible to get hiv through superficial cuts? and how long does the virus stay alive in metal superfies like knifes, needles? I know This might be a stupid question but it  concerns me a lot, because I get paper cuts really often(also it seems like I have Hiv phobia, so everything scares me).

Thanks

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Once exposed to air the virus becomes inactive. HIV is very fragile. It needs to attach itself to a host under near perfect conditions. The examples you are asking about in your question pose no risk......except for needles...that is if you share/reuse an "injection" needle for intravenous drug-use from an infected person ....then the risk is high.
