Question: Sir, i went to my diagnostic center to take a hiv test and it came back negative...i had this test after 4 years of my exposure and it was rapid test...firstly ,do i need any further testing? Sir ,the important question is after giving my test i met a person who was working there and further he was drawing blood from another patient ...i saw blood on his hand ...a few drop and he then cleaned it with cotton but there was dry blood fr sure...after 5 mins i had a shake hand with him and i forgot to wash my hands after that....further there was no blood on my hand ...after that i had my lunch and a ciggrettee without cleaning my hands ...sir could i be affected from this situation? I am really scared ...please help me ... I am taking pills to sleep..please help me...sir there was no blood on my hands as the blood was dry and further i had scratched my arms ...is there any chance of transmission by dry blood?

Sir i dnt have any open wounds in my hand bt after contact frm the guy hand i just had my lunch and forgot to wash my hands and secondly there was some itching on my hand and i did a lil scratching ...can my hand contact hiv virus if they were present on that guy hand ....as there was no blood on my hand ..can there be hiv virus on my hand?

Sir, i was saying that after the hand shake i was scratching my skin ....there was some blood out of my palm ... But sir, there was no blood on my hand ...not even dry blood...could the virus get in through my arms? Sir what is the possibility for my hiv exposure...further sir i saw that the guy was cleaning his fingers after blood was dropped out and sir i m feeling relieved ryt now...sir can hiv enter into my body through dry blood? I didnt even clean my hands for hours ...is their any risk involved? Can hiv exist without fluid? If i didnt had any fluid on my hand through handshake then also hiv would be on my palm? Sir pls do reply ....sir tell me can hiv be only transmitted through wet to wet blood as if i didnt had any cut on my hands and there was no wet blood received frm d handshake ...should i go for a hiv test again? And sir blood was dry after which we had a handshake ...is their any risk involved ...i hv narrated u my whole story ....its just we had a handshake after 5 to 10 mins and there was no wet blood on my skin as it was dry on his fingers only ....i just didnt washed my hands after having handshake and i ate food had a ciggrette went to washroom and touched my penis...any other possible way through which hiv can enter into my body which u could say after concluding my incident ....do i need a further hiv test?
