Can i get aids from my cleaning job..?!
Question: this may be a silly question, but i am a janitor and so i clean toilets and such. a lot of times i dont wear gloves unless there is a huge mess involving bodily fluids. i know that urine is sterile, but could i possibly get aids from cleaning small spots of blood off toilets? im not exactly sure how long the aids virus can live outside its host before it becomes ineffective. i would prefer answers from people who are fully educated on this subject. thanks.

First of all, why don't you wear gloves all the time cleaning public bathrooms? I would. But no you will not get HIV from cleaning the toilet. The HIV virus dies as soon as the blood is dry, and when the blood gets wet, the virus does not come to life again.
u can only get aids if u have an open wound and u touch someones body fluids and that person has aids or HIV
no
if the blood is dried then no worries for HIV but you can get HEP B from dried blood. If i was u i would were gloves
