Possibility Of Getting HIV From A Cut On Finger

Two lowes s reps came to my home today to install a microwave and pull out some some stuff I had in the top cabinets one item being a small woodend barrel it was falling apart! So when I went to throw it in the trash my thumb finger was rubbed against the woodend barrel and I began feeling a slight burning sensation I looked at my finger and I didn t see no splinter so I washed my hands and then put some hand sanitizer to see if I would feel a burning sensation from the alcohol in the sanitizer but I felt nothing so I went outside to see if maybe with the sun I could get a better look but I saw a small peel of my skin not sure if this could be case for me to worry for hiv or hep or anything else for that matter! I did try to Investigate the men to see if they were a high risk people for these kinds of things

hi, dont worry just relaxed. you have no chance of hiv from that. blood to blood contact or sexual contact is required for hiv to spread. moreover hiv virus can not survive long time outside the body environment. and deep cut is required just peel of skin is not sufficient for that, so forget all the things,. hiv cant spreaad by that mean.
