Question: Can touching a cut with a dirty hand\ cause hiv or other infections!?
I cut myself with my own, brand new razor blade!. Then I touched the open wound with my finger which had just touched the locker door in the gym!. I know this sounds paranoid but I'm pregnant and I'm very scared of getting any infections at this point!. Any advice would be highly appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You certainly can't get HIV this way!. HIV is only spread by unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, dodgy blood transfusions & from mother to child in the womb/during nursing!.
If you're a normal healthy person with a normal immune system I wouldn't worry about it!. Wash the cut, and if you want, apply some sort of disinfectant like iodine, then cover it with a plaster!.
Eating a good diet, getting plenty of sleep, avoiding too much stress, steering clear of people who are obviously sick, and following normal rules of good hygiene are your best defences against infection :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

i dont think you could get hiv because HIV is passed through blood, semen, Pre-ejaculate, vaginal fluid or breast milk!. so unless any of these substances on the locker door and the person who put it their was carrying HIV you cant have HIV no need to worry about that!. however this may lead to a general infection if it gets Puffy or red go see your GP Www@Answer-Health@Com
