Can One Get Infected With Hiv Just By Having A Scratch From A Public Transport by jobyyjob(op): 5:49pm On May 09, 2016
Medical professionals in the house, I greet you. I recently sustained an injury while crossing a keke napep. The rear bumper gave me a scratch while I was moving past it. I didn't notice the wound until I got home. It bled and I used methylated spirit on it. I've since then gotten tatenus injection. My fear is if I can contact hiv through this. Please, professional advice only. Thanks

You can, only if the keke napep is HIV positive.You said you were 'moving past' on the 'rear bumper'?As in dogggy style?
You didn't use protection and started bleeding?

I think you should go for HIV test.

No you can not. Unless an HIV positive person was scratch in that same spot some minutes before you and left some blood there. If not, NO
