HIV contraction possible in this scenario?
      #244068 - 01/23/09 09:21 PM

I have a question. I noticed I had some blood looking spots on my sleeve, after I wiped my nose with my shirt , my nose in which was sore and raw from a cold. Theoretically if the blood on my shirt was from an HIV+ person and I did wipe my sore and raw nose, is transmission possible? (I didn't have a bloody nose or anything)

Thank you. I'm freaking out over this. Is it a potential risk or am I just paranoid?

HIV can be transmitted via unprotected sex, from used needles and mother to child during birth or nursing. That's it.

You did not have a risk for HIV.
