what shud i do
today I was going by the tube to my university...my shoe was hurting me and a time came when i took of my shoe and saw my heel bleeding...there was a person sitting next to me...I requested him for a tissue and he gave me one...I put it on my heel to stop bleeding and after a while, i realised that there was already some blood on his tissue before I put it...I was wondering that wat r the chances of getting HIV if the blood was infected???
stop asking stupid questions!!!! Instead of posting how about you look up the ways of transmission!
thanks bro
my comment was to you.
HIV must have access to your bloodstream. Period. It does not survive outside the body unless the blood is in large quantities. Even then it does not last long. Scientists cannot keep it alive long even under the most controlled circumstances. What makes you think it would stay alive on a tissue?
No, I meant to make it clear that you had no risk. I was saying there was a low chance that your friend even had HIV to begin with. You didn't get HIV from this exposure. No risk.
so u mean to say that there is some risk like u said little risk
Your blood was on the tissue. Or are you saying that you took a bloody tissue from someone and wiped your heel. Either way, little risk for HIV. Once blood comes outside of the body, HIV doesn't last for long. The chances are also pretty low that your tissue giving friend even had HIV. If he didn't have HIV, theres no way you could have caught it.
no but the blood was on the tissue
HIV doesnt live on tissues, it lives in blood.
cud u give me the scientific reason for saying zero chance so that i can convince myself if i get scared again plzz...
thanks bros...u know i am alone right now...i dont have any docs nor anyone to help me...its just because help by u guys that i am sailing thru...God bless u alll....
