Hello there. I can understand your concern. You have got a really nice way of thinking and great imagination power. It's very unlikely that hiv spreads that way. So don't worry. You aren't going to be affected. If you want to get the test done however, then you can. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
