No you cannot because HIV can only occurs in these ways in intercourse, blood transfer, semen, and breast milk. There is no possible path for HIV to get in by body contact, that is the same question asking can you get it from hugging someone. It is no.

Only if both hands have an open wound. or, if the cut hand.. the blood from it(like, if it got onto your hand), makes internal contact.

You might catch HIV from a cut. If you get blood from someone with HIV in your cut then you can catch HIV.

It is spread via bodily fluids, so if the cut was bleeding and somebody else treated the cut (without taking precautionary measures, such as plastic gloves), they may contract HIV.

How deep should be a cut for you to contract HIV when exposed to contaminated blood?

it could even be a scratch, certain infectees (the affect, HIV/AIDs positive). if the person that is affected is in a further state of "infection" it could just be a scratch, otherwise you could get severly cut and not contract it, not saying that you should try it out, its not a 100% thing about immediately contracting the disease. but, personally i would get myself checked


Can you get aids if you get scratch by someone with aids?

The HIV (the AIDS virus) is transmitted through blood and bodyfluids. If you scratch a HIV+ person so s/he starts to bleed and you get that blood into your bloodsrtream through an open wound, cut or similar, you may get Hiv. But it is important to know that unless blood is transferred from the HIV+ to your blood there is no danger of being contaminated. Yo can hug, drink of the same teacup, eat from the same spoon etc without any risks. If you on the other hand is speaking about an HIV+ person scratching you ( as in a fight) there are no risk at all Unless the other person was bleeding.

Can warts on the finger transfer hiv to another person who has a cut on there finger?

HIV is transferred through bodily fluids such as blood or semen, so no a wart would not transfer HIV regardless if the person has a cut or not. If a person has a cut on their finger and the HIV infected person is bleeding and it gets into the cut, there is a chance of infection but it is a much lower risk than unprotected sex.
