handshake pimple Feb 10, 2012 A relative of mine who shook hands with a friend whom she did not know has been HIV positive for many years. Right after he shook hands he went to his bathroom and popped a pimple. There was a slight amount of blood from popping the pimple. Is she now at risk? Should she take anti viral drugs to prevent infection? |

 Hi there: There is no risk from this situation at all. HIV is not transmitted this way. You CANNOT catch HIV from casual contact. In health, Richard | ||||||||
