I Have Few Doubts Regarding HIV Please Reply
Question: Sir, I have 2 doubts regarding HIV Please be kind to reply.
(1) can it be concluded that HIV can never be contacted indirectly (means HIV fluid or virus in anyway comes to the first person's wound or mucus membrane and then first person's wound or mucus membrane come in contact with a second person's wound or mucus membrane, then is the second person still safe???? is the second person still safe if any or both person's wound or mucus membrane not exposed to air and/or any or both person's wound or mucus membrane is/are wet or moisture????)
(2) Can we get HIV infection if our wound or mucus membrane come in contact with any HIV fluid/virus lying outside in the floor or any inanimate object with or without air exposure and/or any or both of inanimate object and/or person's wound or mucus membrane is/are wet or moisture?????
???

Brief Answer:
HIV transmission through contact with the infectious material is remote pos
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
1. Direct contact with the wound or secretions of a wound of an individual who is positive for HIV cannot be ruled out as a cause for HIV transmission though the chances are negligible.
2. HIV transmission through contact with the spilling of infectious materials like blood or semen over the floor is almost nil as the HIV cannot be viable outside the body or body fluids for not more than view seconds.

Sir, while I am going on the road if some liquid from somebody mouth or nose fell into my wound/eye/inner nose or any mucus membrane, and that person who is unknown has HIV then can HIV blood mix with such liquid and infect me ?
Brief Answer:
Very much unlikely, such a HIV transmission could occur.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
HIV will never spread through nasal secretions or saliva. If that individual was a HIV positive individual and these
secretions were mixed with blood which came in contact with your open wound are all remote possibilities. Why are you worrying about these odd situations?! It could have a negligible risk only. Imagine, if such situations prevailing, in a crowded (Over populated) countries like XXXXXXX China and certain XXXXXXX countries what would be the situation of HIV prevalence? Thank God HIV is not spreading like this.
