What are the chances of getting hiv/std from sharp objects?!
Question: Let me explain. If you picked up someones toe-nail clippers off the ground and didn't know who they belonged too and accidentally cut (small cut) yourself with them, is there any chance you could get hiv/std's from them?
Thank you.

nah. even a healthcare worker that gets stuck with a needle from an hiv pos person only has a 3% chance of getting it, I am a healthcare worker and I have known personally 3 ppl that have stuck themselves with hiv pos needles and they didnt get it, and it's been years. plus, hiv doesn't live long outside the body. Hepatitis does, but even if the person who owned the clippers had hepatitis or something, odds are there was no blood on the clippers.
IF the infection was still alive when it occurred yes
HIV is transmitted by blood or other body fluids. So unless the toenail has blood on it, zero chance.
No chance at all in the real world.
But for science sake, I will say that it is extremely improbable.
if rusty, because the porousness can trap a lot more blood; that's why assassins prefer to use rusty darts, needles etc
only if it belonged to someone with hiv, who also cut themselves, and the blood was still wet enough to enter the wound of your cut.
....so no
no, but to be safe see your doctor also.
highly unlikely. there would have to be bodily fluid contact
yea, but y would u?
i dont think so..... tiny tiny chance they would have to have blood on them and be really recently used... so I think you'll be fine!!!
why would you do that anyway lol
i don't have any clue how you would have accidentally cut yourself with a pair of toe-nail clippers that you picked up off of the ground. Obviously you were using them. There is almost no chance that you've gotten AIDS from them, but the chances of Hep C are quite high. Get checked out!
N?, unless ?ou just picked up a toenail covered with blood of an HIV+ person and touched it to a cut on yours
