Can HIV transfer if ate food from bleeding cut?

One person has a cut on his hand . It was bleeding. I ate food from his hand. If that person is hiv positive. Does it transfer to me??

1 Answer

Answered on 16th July '24

HIV is primarily transferred through some body fluids like blood. If someone with a cut on their hand eats saliva-containing food, the saliva does not carry enough virus to infect you. Being cautious will make sure to see out for symptoms include flu-like illness and talk to your doctor if you are concerned.

I have done health checkup for blood test ..need to know if everything is normal ..I feel fatigue sometimes

Male | 42

Looking tired sometimes can have so many different explanations. The results of your blood screening can show some hints. In case your iron level turns out to be low, your body will be susceptible to fatigue. Having a diet rich in spinach and beans can help increase your iron level. Deficiency of sleep can be a reason for tiredness, too. Regularize the habit of going to bed early and having quality sleep. If the blood test results show any problems, your doctor can find you the appropriate remedy.

i am 29 years old , recently i took blood test in that my esr level is 50 , is it bad?

Female | 29

An ESR reading of 50 might mean there is some kind of inflammation in the body. Possible infections, autoimmune diseases, or even a few cancers can be the cause of this. Typical symptoms of inflammation include fever, fatigue, and aching of the body. To handle this, it is necessary to identify the main reason by doing other tests and talking to a doctor.

What is the treatment for glomus tumor??

Female | 44

A glomus tumor is a small, usually non-dangerous growth that causes discomfort and sensitivity, often in the fingers. These abnormal masses develop from cells growing excessively in the glomus body, a tiny structure that helps regulate body temperature. Treatment typically involves surgically removing the tumor, which should relieve symptoms and prevent them from returning.

A person with HIV cut his hand with a sharp object and after about 2 minute I cut my hand with it. Can I get HIV? it's just scratched with little blood?

Female | 34

A sharp obje­ct with blood from someone with HIV has a small chance of transmitting HIV if it cuts you. But a tiny scratch with little­ bleeding decre­ases the likelihood e­ven more. The risk is e­xtremely low! Howeve­r, watch for unusual symptoms like fever, e­xhaustion, or swollen lymph nodes as a precaution. If anything se­ems off, reach out to a doctor without delay.

My hemoglobin report 8.2 and my esr 125

Male | 37

According to your test results, your hemoglobin level is low, which can cause symptoms like feeling tired and weak. The high ESR number could mean that your body is inflamed. From simple ones, such as anemia, to complex ones, such as infection-are sorts of them. If you want to take your hemoglobin to the right levels, you may have to take in more iron-rich foods by way of diet. Plus, do not forget that the root cause of inflammation is there and lower your ESR count. To improve your hemoglobin, you may need to eat more iron-rich foods, and addressing the underlying cause of inflammation can help lower your ESR level.

The injection of rituximab that you are receiving is the main medicine for your treatment. Since you have already had your first injection and dialysis, it is now time for the second shot. This injection acts on your disease by targeting some cells that might be at fault. Follow your doctor's orders in the letter.

CBC report is normal Dengue and malaria test Both negative CRP 34.1 Very high Doctor prescribed me, some medicines Relating to fever and pain killer I am feeling night sweats.

Male | 28

You are experiencing a hard time caused by that fever and high CRP level. Night sweats are one way for your body to show that it is fighting an infection. A high CRP may be a sign of inflammation in your body. Your doctor prescribing you fever medicines and painkillers is the correct way. Do not forget to rest properly, drink plenty of fluids, and listen to your doctor's orders.

I have undertaken routine blood test today, and while all other aspects are fine, my lymphocytes percentage is 46.5. Is it ok

Male | 49

In case a lymphocyte percentage of 46.5 is a bit more than the normal one, which can occur, for example, in the case of taking drugs or infections and stress. To maintain fewer cells, take care of your health, lessen your stress, and allow enough time to sleep and exercise well. You can also have a detailed conversation with your health professional.

I am 25 years old male, I am taking PEP medication for 25 days and had another exposure today, do I have to extend my PEP?

Male | 25

If you're already on PEP medication and had another exposure, it's important to let your healthcare provider know. They will, however, determine whether you require additional PEP treatment. Sometimes symptoms of HIV can take a while to develop, therefore it is better to be safe than sorry. PEP treatment assists in reducing the chances of acquiring HIV, nevertheless, it is still preferable to consult with your doctor to ensure that you are following the correct plan.

I have 16 pea sized lymph nodes I am 57kg my height is 5ft 10 I’ve had them for almost 2 years and they haven’t got bigger or changed I’ve had blood tests previously and they all came back fine. I do have 2 under my jaw that’s a bit bigger than a pea though. Is it a concern? I have no symptoms except bad anxiety. I am highly afraid of cancers

Male | 17

Your lymph nodes not changing size or growing for two years is good. When it comes to cancer we tend to worry a lot due to anxiety. They might remain slightly enlarged sometimes. It’s usually benign but it would be prudent to get the larger ones checked by your doctor. Additionally, work on calming down your nerves because that can also be of help.

I am 22 years old and having normal diet frequently .But i don't see my muscle mass is increasing. It's like khana kha raha hui par pata nhi kaha ja raha hai. (1)Can u suggest me better diet plan in terms of increasing my muscle density. (2) Can i take whey protein powder as form of daily protein intake without doing gym ?

Male | 22

To do this, eat foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, and beans for protein. Also, have a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for your health in general. It is alright to take whey protein powder as a supplement, but it would be most effective if used with regular exercises that build muscles. Always keep in mind that working out is essential for muscle development!

I have WBC 4.53 out of 5-10 normal range. My Neutrophils NEU % 43.3 with normal range 50-62 and lymphoctes lym% 49.2 with normal range 25-40. What does this mean? I used 2 weeks antibiotics for my UTI but this was 3 months ago

Female | 24

Your most recent blood test results show that your leukocyte count and various kinds of cells are slightly outside the range of normal. This might suggest that your body is still in the process of recovering from the urinary tract infection you had three months ago. The antibiotics you have been taking could influence these numbers, too. Ensure you drink enough water, consume a healthy diet, and observe any new symptoms that may arise.
