 There is absolutely no risk from the situation you're describing. None. You cannot get HIV from touching someone who has HIV! To get HIV, a body fluid with HIV has to come out of someone's body and go directly/immediately inside someone else's body. None of this occurred in your situation. I appreciate you asking the question so that you can learn more about the truth of transmission. Definitely explore our archives to learn more! Hope this helps! Erik | ||||||||
