environmental surface

[littlefox1974]

hi, teak and lizzie, Do you think people's hands is a kind of environmental surface?
Because I'm very afraid of blood drawing, if any drop of blood (blood of people prior me and they may be HIV+, ) sticked to her gloves,and could I be infected with HIV by this way: blood (with HIV+) tranfers from her gloves and sticks to the cotton she used and finally transfer to my vein through the hole of needle's penetration by cotton.
Because I am from China, nurses never change gloves between patients.

Thank Teak, this question is very important for me...

Thank Teak, my last question.

if some tiny drops of blood were exposed in air, will hiv virus in blood inactive immediately?

[Teak]

No you are not going to contract HIV in that manner.

Thank Teak,

I think, because hands if a kind of envirnomental surface, even this hypothetical situation occured, I aren't going to contract HIV. is this ture or not?

[Teak]

HIV is transmitted via;
Unprotected anal or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child.

You aren't going to contract HIV in a testing clinic, lab or hospital.
