I was cut by knife while cutting vegetables....Is there HIV risk?

The knife isn't mine. And the cut was very minor, but I am still concerned about HIV infection. What should I do?

The knife was clean, but it's my flatmate's knife and I am scared.

A little known fact: The HIV virus can't surive in open air for more than 15 minutes- even if the knife was completely immersed in HIV infected blood and allowed to dry, there is practically 0% chance of you contracting HIV and/or AIDS.

The HIV virus is surprisingly fragile- oxygen and bleach kills it completely.

Hope this helps.

good answer Report It

I do not think so.

Check with a doctor.

Stop being such an idiot

only if the knife was gay will you get hiv.

Was it clean when you used it or had someone with HIV used it just before you and left bodily fluids on it?

You're more likely to get tetanus than HIV.

does the vegetable have hiv?

whatever!

only if the knife cut someone else and was not sterilized.

go into the doctor and get tested thats all you can do but if th person who owned the knife didnt have hiv its unlikely

absolutely no.

Unless the knife was contaminated with someone else's blood than there is no risk. That would be like getting HIV from Veggies.

Dude, calm down.If the knife wasn't coverd in that person's blood then you will be fine. LOL this question made my day!!! Ha, I needed that!!

NO, vegetables do not transmit the HIV...

Very unlikely. Was the knife clean? If it was nothing to worry about.

unless the kinfe have HIV i don't think u should get it

I'd be more concerned about tetanis instead of HIV. Was there blood on the knife already?

Vegetable could only carry VIV... you don't need to worry.
LOL

was there blood on it or something? from him, not you.

Depends, was the tomato a filthy, filthy whore?

only if the knife was in a gay man's backside before you were cut.

Did the vegetables have AIDS?

was there HIV-infected blood on the knife? if not, then don't panic. just wash it and put a band-aid on it. HIV is transferred through body fluids.

Don't worry. Unless the zucchini you were sharing juices with on the knife was infected, you should be fine.

U'll be affected only if someone who had aids was cut by the knife

only if the vegetable was being used as a masturbatory tool in the bloody anus of an infected person

but even then the risk would be small since hopefully you washed it before cutting it

I really doubt it. The HIV virus doesn't live long after being exposed to air. Unless someone with HIV has cut themselves with the knife just before you I think you're safe.

nononon your safe u r a worry wort like my grama

I wouldn't think so since HIV is spread through body fluids, blood, sperm that sort of thing. No, if you had just cut your friend with the knife an it had his blood on it and then you cut yourself, it is possible if that friend had HIV. If you're so worried, get tested.

no the vegtables wont contract HIV...so dont worry about them soo much...they'll be just fine...heehee

no but ...meet a doc as soon as possible

WHO USED THE KNIFE BEFORE YOU. WAS IT WASHED PROPERLY BEFORE YOU USED IT. AS LONG AS IT WAS CLEAN AND THE PERSON BEFORE YOU WASN'T INFECTED, YOU ARE OK. YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH INFECTED BLOOD OF ANOTHER PERSON, SO RELAX
