Very worried about a potential exposure
Hi last night as I was walking on the street to meet some friends at a bar, I was scratching my leg and moved my head to the side and my head touched or bumped a metal box that contain the power meters for electricity, when I got home I checked and didn't anything but a small red spot in my sideburn, but I also have several of these on my head and use minoxidil for my hair, if there was any fluid like blood would there be a risk for hiv it was like at 930 pm and when I came back to check after I left didn't see any través of blood
Ok thanks so my red blood spot is from something else and even if I drew blood from this incident there was no risk?
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

Even if I have a red spot on my sideburn or even if there were blood or something else even though I couldn't see any
