Risk of HIV from Cut Contact with Blood on Cloth

I had a small cut on my hand that came into contact with blood on clothe. I didn't see any blood on my cut afterward or any wetness. Could I be infected with HIV?

1 Answer

Answered on 4th Sept '24

HIV does not spre­ad easily from dried blood. The virus die­s quickly outside the body. A small cut touching dried blood is ve­ry unlikely to cause infection. Unbroke­n skin protects against HIV entering the­ body. Being cautious with blood is wise. Howeve­r, in this case, the chance of ge­tting HIV is extremely low. It's still good to watch for any unusual symptoms. But you probably have­ nothing to worry about!

Face swelling due to cold

Male | 38

When you have a cold, your face may swell as your body fights off germs, increasing blood flow to the area. This extra blood can make your face look puffy. Rest, hydration, and a cold compress can help reduce the swelling. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's important to consult a doctor, as it could indicate something more serious than a regular cold.

I am 24 yrs old i m hair loss around the penis please give suggestions

Male | 24

The penis area hair loss reason can be different. The rubbing of garments or activities is a common one. Also, psoriasis or fungal infections may cause hair to drop in that location. Use antidandruff medicine if it itches or appears red, keep it neat and dry besides dressing with comfortable clothes regularly is essential for preventing more hair fall in this region.

Hi my daughter has a spot on her tummy and it's painful to touch and it's all red with little white spots around it

Female | 4

Your daughter most probably has a skin infection called Impetigo. A painful, red spot with white spots around it is a symptom of this illness. This is due to bacteria entering the skin, which usually happens when a cut or insect bite is present. To deal with this issue, keep the area clean, apply antibiotic cream, and cover it with a bandage. Make sure she doesn't scratch it to prevent spreading the infection.

Male | 27

It appears as though you possibly have an extremely bad allergic reaction on your podophylin cream. I suggest that you go to a dermatologist immediately for an assessment and treatment.

Female | 21

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

A red colored and long mass type thing is coming out from belly button. thick yellow discharge also came out sometimes from belly button. I have no pain, no swelling, no discomfort, nothing

Female | 24

It looks as though you burgeon an umbilical granuloma which is a small piece of tissue that protrudes from your belly button. The yellow discharge may be an indication of the infection. In some instances, it could come on without any pain or swelling. To do this, you have to keep the area clean and dry. It is also possible that you will need antibiotics when the infection gets worse.

looking inflammation or can say Balanitis infection on front skin. Please suggest which doctor to consult Dermatologist/Urologist/Analogists or sexologist.

Male | 60

Balanitis is an inflammation of the skin located at the front end of the penis. If addressing the issue, professionals, such as dermatologists and urologists, who are experts in skin and urinary system disease may be consulted. The issue of balanitis springs from a lack of cleanliness, some skin conditions, or various infections. Recommendations from doctors include cleaning the area, prescription of medicated creams, or, if there is an infection, they might need to take antibiotics.

Can you suggest to me the best hair transplant technique? And after my hair transplant surgery will I have to take off from my work for a few days??

Male | 32

The choice of the best hair transplant technique depends on various factors, including your hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, and your preferences. Two common methods are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing a strip of the scalp for grafts, leaving a linear scar, while FUE involves individually extracting follicles, leaving minimal scarring. Regarding recovery, it's advisable to take a few days off work after the surgery. The initial recovery period typically involves some swelling, redness, and scabbing around the transplant area.
