Can i catch HIV from dried blood?!
Question: Can i catch HIV from dried blood!?
1st of all i need to say that i have health OCD and i worry about every health condition esp HIV
I was at wedding party a few weeks ago, and i was VERY drunk and the bride cut her finger with a knife opening something!.
Here is where i get confussed, there are pics from my camera of the party but none with the brides hand in a cloth which she wrapped it in after the cut!. But there is a drunken picture of me on the floor and my finger is by a dark redish blob and im not sure if it is smeared or not!. it doesnt look bright or fresh coloured
my friend said that the cut happend after these pics were taken, but i am so scared i have touched blood and caught HIV
im i over reacting !?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
You can't catch HIV just by touching blood!. Infected blood would have to get from an infected person directly into your bloodstream for you to be infected!. Also, once outside the body, exposed to air, HIV only survives for a few minutes!. You can't get HIV by touching dried blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ok first off, as someone else has said, the bride/person who's blood it was would have to be infected with HIV for you to get it from the blood!.
Secondly, if the blood came onto contact with your skin, there would have to be an opening in your skin to allow blood to blood contact!. So if you had no cuts/grazes and your skin was intact, you should be fine!.
I personally believe you've nothing to worry about but you could always get tested to put you mind at easeWww@Answer-Health@Com

No, don't worry, there is no way you would have caught anything!. You would of had to have an open cut for blood to go into!.
If it was this easy to catch, then everyone would have it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sure your friend doesn't have HIV!. You can't catch HIV unless the person has it!.
