Hey in maple ridge canada i heard of a person leeding on napkins in a dispenser and then putting the napkins back in that he bled on, say i wipe my self with these napkins and theres blood on it, is there any risk at all ? and what are the chances i do get HIV if the person wiped blood on it like say 45 minutes ago ? is there any chance the virus would survive ? and ide also like to know how much blood has to go into say an open cut or sore to get HIV ?

Florida.
Now here's an excellent example of a HIV-phobic person with UNREASONABLE fears about HIV.
See the difference? This is the stupidity and stigma we all have to live with and fight against. Not an issue of comfort level of protection used during an activity that can be a REAL risk.

No really a stupid question. What you want to know is if you can get infected via dry blood. I cant answer that for you, but there are studies out there that deal with how long the virus can live outside of the body. Getting infected this way is very unlikely. Good Luck.

What? There is NO risk from dried blood! If the blood has dried the HIV is dead! You would however need to worry about Hep C.
Again, NO risk of HIV/AIDS from dried blood!
