Does a less healthier person, more prone to get HIV? Aug 25, 2011 Doctor, I know that you are a wonerful person, giving peace and guidance to a whole bunch of people. I have few questions. I heard that, the chance of getting infected with HIV virus, from a needle/syringe prick with HIV + blood, is .3 to .8 percentage. Questions. 1. Is the above said correct? 2. Does this percentage have a connection with the health of the person? 3. I mean , Does a more healthier person, less prone to get infected with HIV this way? 4. Also , does a less healthier person, more prone to get infected with HIV this way? Thanks, MJ. |

 Hi, MJ. 1. Yes, but there are many variables involved in whether HIV is actually transmitted. 2. Nope. 3. Nope. 4. Nope. HIV doesn't really care if you're healthy or not. I was extremely healthy when the virus found me. I seroconverted following an occupational needle stick and laceration in January 1991. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
