ok…people state that you can get hiv through a cut or a wound…now from my understanding, when you’ve a cut, you bleed out so even if you come in contact with blood, your body wont suck it in or if you’re not bleeding then a scab must have formed and hiv can not access the bllod stream…is this correct?


Answer:
Yes, it's completely possible to acquire HIV through an open wound. However, your open wound would have to come into direct contact with the HIV virus, normally through an infected person's blood, semen, or other fluids besides urine, mucous, and saliva.

HIV transmission through open wounds is very uncommon though, unless you include reused hypodermic needles, where it becomes more common.

If you think you might have gotten HIV, it's ideal to tell your physician, and refrain from any sexual activity. After 6 months, have yourself tested, and then again after a year. The HIV virus takes a long time from the original infection to become detectable. If you get tested before the 6 month mark, the risk of a false-positive outweighs the benefits of getting tested.


Answer:
wrong…if the wound is bleeding it means your skin is OPEN…therefor you can get ANYTHING in the wound.

your theory doesn't explain how you get it through sex.
(since people don't open wounds to have sex, then they can't get HIV, but it happens, cause the skin is POROUS on genitals and mouths which are dirty in the first place.) so you superior read, learn and have a REAL thought…


Answer:
No that's not correct. Any time you have any sort of open wound, bacteria & other things can get into it. This is how people end up with infected cuts. If you have an open cut or wound on your body, you could potentially contract HIV that way if you're exposed to it.

Answer:
That is definitely NOT correct. You can get it through a cut, wound, etc. Perhaps you need to visit the CDC website concerning transmission possibilities. http://www.cdc.gov/
