Beggar cut my hand w/fingernail - can I get HIV? Posted: 10-09-07 10:15am
Well recently a drug addicted walked to me
and asked me a coin after some minutes of
begging I gave it to him , while i was
taking the coin from my wallet he forced
is hand into my wallet and did a small cut
on my hand with his nails (that were kinda
big).
He didn't seem to have any cuts on his
fingers but he did a small cut on my
finger with his nail that bleed for a few
seconds. Is there any chances that i'm
infected or just some slim chance or
really not even possible?
Just worried cause he was a junkie and
many of the drug users are HIV positive
since they share needles to drug
themselfs. Once again I repeat I didn't
see any cuts on his hands, tho he did a
small cut on my hand that bleed for some
time.
Thanks for the help
(sorry for the not so correct english but
i'm not from a english country)

You are unlikely to have gotten AIDS in
that fashion. There needs to be
mucous-membrane or direct fluid (such as
blood or semen) exchange.
