 Hi Urine cannot is not a risk for HIV transmission and having a cut on your foot and walking around barefoot does put you at risk not for HIV but for picking up bacteria and virus that can cause infection. HIV dies once it is outside of the body and there is not a way for transmission to occur this way as well. Be well and stay safe, Shannon | ||||||||
