Can you get HIV/AIDS if you wear another persons clothes?(Please see details)?


I'm extremely curious about this. Say someone got a body fluid (such as blood) on your clothes. Then you immediately wore those clothes could you get HIV. I ask this because one day while playing basketball this one guy fell and got banged up pretty badly and bled all over my pants. Not thinking I went home touched the bloody clothes, the blood was faily fresh. Plus I got some blood on me when it happened. When I touched the blood would the HIV virus be dead (if in which the guy had HIV I have really no idea)? Should I worry about getting infected with the virus? Could you become infected if the same incident happened with a different fluid such as semen?

No I didn't have any exposed soars or wounds.

If you had any open cuts come into contact with the blood on the clothes, i would say its possible. HIV is a very fragile virus when not inside a host and does not survive long in the open air. The main factor here is did his blood come into contact with yours?

i believe when HIV or aids hits the air it immediately dies

highly unlikely....

if you had a direct route for the fluid, like a wound or something, your chances would increase

don't lose any sleep over it

God bless!

Umm i say no and yes because it can depend how hot it was outside if the person that bleed was hiv/aids positive and the blood got out say if it was 80 degrees the virus will not last proably till a couple of mins 10 mins at the most. BUT if the blood got on you and it landed on a open soar on your skin and that person was hiv/aids postive there is a chance you can have it.

GET A TEST!! COMPLETLEY CONFENDENTIAL!

takes awhile for virus to die, to be safe use bleach and water solution but those aren't nearly as strong as Hep C, so I would imagine your okay, just lucky you didn't put bloody clothes of a HEP C person on your bod.
think positive and you will be a-okay , i promise :)

umm yhea hiv is transmited both sexually and blood only so dont worry

Nope you can't. In order to get infected the person's body fluids have to get in touch with yours, like getting pinched with a needle you were using to do stitches on someone. Or having unprotected sex with someone, usually goes from men to women, women secretions don't get inside mens' bodies. Plus blood gets oxidized when in contact with air. Anyway, you just have to be careful about touching someone else's fluids, that's all.

HIV, hepatitis, and bloodborne viral infections die in air. You shouldn't worry about viral infection, as it is not possible. Washing your hands well for at least 30 seconds with hot soapy water is the best way of preventing bacterial infections.
If you got fresh blood spatter directly in your eyes, then you might need to be concerned about viral infection.
HIV, hepatitis, and similar viral infections are called retroviruses, and can only be transmitted through direct contact with blood and body fluids, i.e., a blood transfusion with untested blood(all blood products are tested thoroughly now and have been since the early 1990s), sharing used needles with someone who is infected, or unprotected sex(sex without using a condom) with an infected person.
It is important to note that if you have had unprotected sex or shared needles or feel you may have been exposed to infection, you should be tested. If you have concerns, please see your doctor.

YES!!!! you better get tested right now before you die or infect someone else!!!
