Aids/HIV question?


If you touch ANYONES urine, can you immediately catch Aids or HIV or does it have to be infected first?

The same question goes for sex.

I'm a cleaner and I'm asking this question because in my first cleaning job, I was naturally inexperienced and to begin with, did not understand the importance of wearing gloves. So, I sometimes accidentally touched someones urine. Am I correct in thinking the good news is whether the urine was infected or not, it could not hurt me?

here is a list of the fluids that HIV/AIDS is carried in:
1.blood
2.breast milk
3.sexual fluids
4.mucosal fluid (fluid found in the knees)
NOT FOUND IN THE FOLLOWING:
1.sweat
2.tears
3.urine
4.fecal matter (unless blood is present)
5.saliva

Here is a list of ways it can be transfered:
1. blood to blood contact
2.breast feeding
3.sexual intercourse
4.sharing contaminated needles during drug use
NOT TRANSFERED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING:
1.hugging
2.kissing
3.touching
4.sharing a cup or eating utencils
5.a toliet seat
6.a mosquito bite

Urine is sterile. And once the virus hits the air it dies. Unprotected sex - yes.

I don't think you can get Aids/HIV from someone urine, unless you have a cut and the urine get into the cut I really don't know how true it is but i don't think you can get it from that, I thought it was through not have safe sex or a open cut. I know you can get it if you don't have safe sex.

No you cannot.

HIV/AIDS is a very fragile disease once out of the body.

...hmmm maybe they could come up with a cure that exposes all of poz ppl's blood to the air.....O.K? that may sound dumb, but at least im trying...Got a better ideas?
