Can A Scratch On Hand Be An Indication Of HIV In The Absence Of Actual Sexual Contact?
I drive a taxi for living. I had a gay client last night and he was touching me here and there while I was driving. I didn't like it and told him to not distracted me.but when he was about to drop off my car he gave me a tip and also touch my hand.next morning I found a scratch on my hand I worried so much and wasn't sure that where did the scratch come from. I m worried now that he might scratched for reason and try to get me for an hiv disease or something. Please let me know I m so worried and dont go to work from this fear in me.
Hi. First of all start going to work immediately... Just a scratch on your hand without contamination by someone else's body fluids can not cause HIV. To make it sure you can go for tests now to get mental relief and after 6 months too. All HIV people do not develop AIDS ( which is dangerous). So just relax at the moment.
