Hi.......A few weeks ago whilst at work I
cut my hand with a stanley knife it was
quite deep and did cause my hand to
bleed.........I have reason to believe
that another fellow worker who is hiv+
also cut his hand with the same knife
about 3 weeks before.........I have read
on the internet that it does not mean that
I could be hiv+ as it was dry blood and it
dies or something like that? As blood is
exposed to air????? (sorry for my lack of
knowledge)
im realy scared. Please help.

There is no way you could contract hiv by
this method and youre purely safe. Hiv
outside the body dies in less than 45
seconds. So there is no relation between
your friend cutting with this knife 3
weeks before and you using the same knife
now. Just ease your mind
