Risk of hiv through cut of knife.
I am cutting vegetable in my friend's house with a knife, knife was clean, suddenly I got a minor cut on my finger with knife, a drop of blood came out. My friend said that 4 or 5 days ago he also got a cut with the same knife, I want to know that if my friend is hiv+ then can this disease also transmit me in this way, am I in risk? Should I go for PEP?
