Not a doctor, but it seems unlikely that an HIV positive person scratching someone that is HIV negative will transmit the disease. HIV virus travels in the bloodstream, so there must be an exchange of fluids in an environment where the virus can survive. HIV cannot survive outside of the body. And in your example, blood from the HIV infected person doesnt come into play just by scratching someone even if the non-infected person begins to bleed.

No; HIV is actually very fragile, and the environmental conditions on the fingernail destroy it. The only way transmission in this manner would be possible is if a cut on the HIV+ person's finger left fresh blood there, and the other person's skin was broken by the fingernail.

Isnt HIV a SEXUALLY transmitted disease??? Which means you have to have sex to pass it on unless you do give it thru the person to the baby or breast feeding.....
