 Hi. Yes, you can get HIV from a coworker if you shared equipment, such as a fax machine, copier or refrigerator. The coworker would have to be HIV infected, and you would have to have unsafe sex with him on top of the fax machine, copier or refrigerator. Other than that, even with cuts,the answer would be a resounding "no, of course not you silly person, you". Dr. Bob | ||||||||
