Due To Recent Critical Issue Related To COIVD-19, I Got
Question: Due to recent critical issue related to COIVD-19, I got so OCD and nervous about everything not only COIVD-19. I have some questions related to HIV and hepatitis virus transmission. Is there any risk to contract HIV in the following scenario：
1. If I washed my clothes with tiny suspicious stain (might be body fluid , or blood) after I coming back from outside in the sink of my bathroom. Will this process cause contamination of the sink, sink table and things on the table, such as toothbrush, face cream. And make them become potential transmission source while I touch them, washing face, brush teeth and pick pimple after touching those surface?
2. I don‘t have active bleeding cut, but due to over washing, my hand is dry and a little bit cracking (not bleeding, bu red and would be pain when apply hand sanitizer). Do I have risk to contract virus while washing stained clothes.
3. Will virus transmit through indirect contact? For example, I washed my clothes in the sink, then my baby touch the sink and then put her hands in her mouth. Or, I washed the clothes in the sink, some water split on my toothbrush and I brushed my teeth after a while and my gum is bleeding a little bit.
Appreciate doctor's answer one by one.

Brief Answer:
Getting HIV while washing contaminated clothes is not likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
1. HIV can't be transmitted on you while washing clothes with a brown suspicious stain. HIV can't live longer outside body , in open air and sunlight outside. Also washing the stain with water and detergent can't contaminate the sink or everything around.
2. Taking count that HIV can't be transmitted due to washing clothes you can't get it even if your hands are slightly cracked and dry.
3. The sink isn't contaminated while washing clothes with HIV there so the baby can't contract it. Also the splash of the water that you washed the stained cloth can't contaminate the things around like face cream or toothbrush.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

I think you don't have to worry about contacting HIV in this episode.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
It would be better if you upload a photo on reports or send it by email at YYYY@YYYY .
I don't believe it can be dangerous taking count that the blood was dry, you washed it with soap and water and also your cut was not open and bleeding but just red.

Brief Answer:
I think you don't have increased risk of taking HIV through them.
Detailed Answer:
Ok. I finally see the photos you attached and you don't have cuts but minor scratches. I don't think they can be problematic and they can't increase risk of being infected with HIV.
They are almost closed getting healed.
I think you should not worry about getting HIV through them.
