I Keep Forgetting To Ask My ID Doctor This ?. If My Blood Level Is Undetectable, And I Cut My Finger Would The Blood Be Transmissible?
Thank you. I'm a nurse I'm constantly washing my hands and I very dry skin and my cuticles are frequently bleeding. Unfortunately I don't really notice it until someone points it out to me and I panic. I carry tubes and tubes and moisturizer in my pockets so trying to help stop it from happening
If your HIV viral load is undetectable, the risk of transmitting HIV through a cut is extremely low. However, it's important to remember that even with an undetectable viral load, small amounts of the virus can still be present in your blood. Therefore, it's always best to take precautions to avoid any potential exposure to Show Full Answer
Yes, absolutely.... The only time that I've ever had a problem and I'm undetectable for 30 years is when they go to draw blood but that is hospital standard as you know that a mask and gloves are always required.... but other than that , family, partner and friends have never thought twice about infection with me... Even when I cut myself.
@A myHIVteam Member does that apply to blood as well?
No you are fine my dear. Please moisturize your hands You can even have sex with someone who is negative unprotected not that you will but you can, and you will not pass it. Undetectable means untransmissible.
