Is HIV transmission possible through tissue touching dry skin?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

According to your statement, you have a history of accidentally throwing something in a communal trash can, removing the lid, and touching the inside of the trash can. A used tissue was found on the inside of the trash can, and peeled skin was exposed due to dryness on your fingertip.

I have already seen the picture (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) that is provided here, and it seems okay to me. First of all, I assure you that you will not get HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). Because of prolonged direct exposure to body fluids, semen, vaginal fluid, breastfeeding from an affected mom, direct vaginal or anal sex, and sharing of needles, HIV can be transmitted. HIV cannot pass through peeled skin. Where there is no chance of transmission, no post-exposure prophylaxis is also required. I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

According to your statement, that incident was done and could not be changed. You throw a used chicken bone after picking up someone else's chicken bone from the trash can, and peeling skin may happen. You can be sure that HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) cannot be transmitted. Though that was a dirty thing, I think no infection would have happened, as many organisms would have been automatically killed after exposure to the outer environment. So, just a history of peeled-off skin cannot be a source of transmission for any type of infection. Do not be worried at all. The accident was an incident, and that incident will not harm you. I hope you find this helpful.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

According to your statement, you had a piece of skin covering the peeled skin, and you bit off the piece of skin after washing your hands. As you washed your hands after that incident, I think there is no chance of transmission. Again, no symptoms of any type of infection have occurred yet. So, I think nothing will happen in the near future.

As there are still no symptoms of infection, I think there is nothing to be worried about. If you find any symptoms of infection, then please contact me, and I will try to give you a solution. So, where there are no symptoms of infection yet, you should not be worried. If you see any symptoms of infection, just inform me, and I will be here to help you find a solution.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Yes, I can still believe that there was no risk of hepatitis or HIV if the trash was contaminated, since the skin underneath the blister was intact. I assure you that you will not get HIV. Because of prolonged direct exposure to body fluids, semen, vaginal fluid, breastfeeding from an affected mom, direct vaginal or anal sex, and sharing of needles, HIV can be transmitted. HIV cannot pass through peeled skin.

First of all, I assure you that you will not get HIV because of prolonged direct exposure to body fluids, semen, vaginal fluid, breastfeeding from an affected mom, direct vaginal or anal sex, or sharing of needles; hepatitis cannot be transmitted.

So, I think there is no chance of transmission of HIV or hepatitis if the trash is contaminated, since the skin underneath the blister is intact.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
