Can you contract HIV from a cut on the finger?

Answer 1

First of all Do not let a baby suck on a cut finger. The cut and the finger itself most surely will contain bacteria and other unhealthy "things".

No, the chances are very low. The content of HIV in the mouth is very low, therefore kissing is said to be relatively safe if one partner is HIV+

But do not take chances, let the baby suck on something clean.

Why on earth would you let an HIV positive baby suck on your finger anyways? Or any baby at all? Do you realize that under your finger nails you have millions of nasty things (dead skin cells, poop particles, etc) that could get into a child's mouth? If you absolutely have to use your finger, use a nuckle AFTER you wash your hands very good (wash them for 30+ seconds, sing the happy bday song to yourself twice). Just think about what I said about your nails the next time you go to bite them.....

Answer 2

HIV should be understood properly. It is only spread by unprotected sex and blood transfer from infected to non infected. That is all it is blood/semen related.

If they don't break the skin, there should be no problem.

same kids are born with it.

Answer 3

No, AIDS cannot be transfered through saliva. HIV hasbeen found in saliva and tears in very low quantities from some AIDS patients. It is important to understand that finding a small amount of HIV in a body fluid does not necessarily mean that HIV can be transmitted by that body fluid. HIV has notbeen recovered from the sweat of HIV-infected persons. Contact with saliva, tears, or sweat has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV.

Answer 4

It is possible to contract HIV through a cut on a finger, but only if the cut comes in contact with an infected bodily fluid.
