HIV From unknown body fluid.?

hi
I was recently out on my bike and after picking it back up, after laying it on its side, i noticed there was a sticky partly cloudy liquid on my hand. i am unsure if it is flem/saliva or if it was semen. At the time i had very dry and scaley skin on the affected hand but not in the spot the liquid was on. I also had a 10 hour old cut on the other hand, across the knuckle. I proceeded to wipe the liqid off on a wall some even on the handle bar grip itself (bad idead now). I then had to deliver advertisements, diping the hand with cuts in to the bag and rubing the cut on the paper, and handleing the paper with both hands. If i had transmitted it form one hand to another could the cut or the dry/scalely possibley cracked skin have led to an HIV infection. I am very worried if i have caught something and really wish someone could shed some light on the subject and even show some medical studies to show im safe. im a worrier if you hadnt guessed :-).
many thanks Arron

No, the HIV virus doesn't survive long in the air. You should be fine. The chances of you contracting a disease of any kind like that are very slim.

first of all, try not to worry so much. You don't know what the substance was and it was exposed to air, it's not as harmful. It would take a lot or saliva or semen to penetrate an OPEN wound to infect u and that's only IF this mystery fluid was infected with HIV. Get a HIV test done or give blood at a blood center and they will let you know if you're infected with it. Do research instead of worrying so much. It will put your mind at ease

I highly doubt you contracted hiv. If you did, I would bet you are the first person to get it that way. Where you in an area prone to outdoor sex, with people who have unprotected sex that are HIV positive? Whatever the substance was, it probably was something else. Maybe you sneezed while riding your bike and it was mucus that you sneezed out. But HIV does not live that long outside of the body. And for someone with a cut on their hand to contract HIV from outside bodily fluids, the load would have to be extremly high- like coming from a person that is on their death bed and has every possible infection out there. If you real feel you have something, go to your doctor and talk it over with them. And check out the CDC website- your case isn't even listed on there. There are also links to other pages containing information about the virus itself. Happy riding
