Question: Scab on head? can i get hiv? ?

Let's say someone is playing with my hair and they have a cut in their hand and I have a small scab in my skull where my hair is at. Can I get hiv? Thanks

Answers:

A scab is a protective covering over a wound. Two scabbed over, healing cuts touching is incredibly unlikely to transfer any blood born illness. Assuming of course that either person involved even has a blood born illness. You can't get HIV from someone who doesn't have it.

Please stop making up ways you think you could get HIV.

The only ways you can get HIV are by having sex with or by sharing needles with someone who's already infected.

I suggest you talk to someone, such as a doctor, school nurse, or counsellor about your obvious anxiety about this.
