Can i get aids from getting scratched while playing basketball?!


Question: Ok i was playing basketball the other day and i went to a court i usually dont go to. and my freind told me to watch out because there was someone there that had aids, but it was a rumor, nobody really knew. well we guarded each other and by accident he scratched me across my bicep. but it was a minor scratch. i barely bled. i know he has to bleed for me to contract anyhting but we were all sweating alot, i mean the cut scabbed up preatty quick but could the sweat do anyhting?

Your fine sweetheart, no worries! if you want piece of mind, get tested in a month or so, and i suggest never having unprotected sex or sex at all unless u are in a serious relationship with a woman you trust!

No, AIDS is not transmitted through sweat.

Nah.. I don't think so.. You'll be fine, but if you want proof. Please consult a doctor. And don't assume somebody having aids.. That's just horrible. If he has aids, they wouldn't let him in the school.. He will probably do home schoolin instead.

Normally you contract aids from having sexual intercourse but your case will highly not have done anything. he obviously scratched you with his finger nails? thats not any fluid in his body which then going into yours is it? so then your fine :)

Sweat has never been known to transmit HIV.

No dear. AIDS can't be transmitted through sweat. so don't you worry ok? it can be transmitted thru sexual contact, contaminated syringe, blood donation & mother to her child.

You have to be explosed to that person's blood or blood products......and you are safe when it comes to sweat. "So don't sweat it!"......<grin>

perhapes if there was blood involved if you had an open wound and the other person was bleeding maybe
