Can HIV Be Contracted Through Sharing Of Workout Equipment?
Please don't worry. No, you cannot get HIV from using workout equipment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello! I have been through your question.
Related your concern you should know that you can get or transmit HIV only through specific activities. Most commonly, people get or transmit HIV through sexual behaviors and needle or syringe use.
HIV is not spread easily. Only certain body fluids from a person who has HIV can transmit HIV like blood, semen (cum),pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk ( from mother to children).
These body fluids must come directly into contact with a mucous membrane or damaged tissue or be directly injected into your bloodstream (by a needle or syringe) for transmission to occur.
HIV does not survive long outside the human body (such as on surfaces of workout equipment) and it cannot reproduce outside a human host.
So, based on these above mentioned facts you shouldn't worry because absolutely you cannot get HIV from using the workout equipment used before from person living with HIV /AIDS, if you bite your nails.
I hope my answer helps you.
Feel free to ask me further.
Regards.
Please don't worry! There is no risk of getting HIV.
