 Hi Thank you for your compliment and we are happy to be here! This is a risk of HIV transmission but there has to be a few additional things to increases this risk. The person who is bleeding has a high viral load and is not on medication and the wound the blood is going into is freshly open. HIV transmission occurring this way carries a very low risk of infection . Be well and stay safe, Shannon | ||||||||
