"Impossible" is a big word. Nobody can say there may not be rare exceptions to these transmission routes. But if they occur, they are exceedingly rare.  Even in the busiest HIV/AIDS clinics, every patient has one of these standard risks. And there has never been a reported case of HIV transmission from an event like yours -- and if you think about it, over the 30+ years of the worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic, there must have been thousands of events just like this, maybe millions. And yet nobody known to have been infected. You aren't going to be the first!

and the only way you can get hiv is by unprotected sex/sharing needles/mother to child right ? so everything else is impossible ?

[jasminjames]

and nobody had ever got infected this way then ?  sorry i keep asking lol .-.

i also read before that once the infectious fluid came out of the body its unable to infect right ? so it impossible for me to even get infected right ?

[HowardH]

Nope, still no risk. I read your message carefully and understood all the details before I replied.

[jasminjames]

so i shouldn't worry about being infected then ? so even if the blood touch my parts still there is no risk them ?

You needne't worry; no risk. The household members of infected people never are infected even after many years of sharing toilets, kitchens, towels, eating utensils, etc. No sex means no risk. Don't worry about it and don't get tested.

In addition, if your infected friend is taking anti-HIV drugs, probably her blood isn't infectious and she can't infect anyone even with unprotected sex.

I hope this has helped. Best wishes.
