technically you have to have the skin broken for it to be infected, and if you noticed how back in the days that people used to do the "blood brother" ritual with cutting their arm or hand and holding it together, that was a gateway for that, but not necessarily, but you still don't want to take any chances... i don't think it's permeable like it can be aborbed, because just like if you sat on a toilet that someone with hiv just sat on, the infection dies off quickly so you can't get infected like that because it has to get into your blood stream ...

No, the only way you can get hiv if you have sex with someone who is hiv positive then you have a high risk, but if the blood was not wiped on an open cut or sore then you are fine, but you should imediatly wash your skin of where the blood was wiped.

NO, you cannot. HIV is passed on by sharing of dirty needles by drug users, getting a transfusion with tainted blood and of course by sexual contact with someone who is already infected. It has to be a direct body fluid exchange. Did you know that this is also the way Hepatitis B is spread.?? And the Hepatitis virus can live longer outside its host than HIV??? And you can't catch it from toilet seats either!!!!

No, it must be full blood to blood contact. Even in th eye it will not infect you unless you have some kind of iritaion present. Like Red eye due to allergys or a scratch etc. As I understand it.
You must have some kind of open wound, a break in the protective skin.

Nope. The blood has to enter your body for it to spread to you. But be careful not to smear that spot across your face. It might enter your body through your nose or mouth.

VERY unlikely...HIV is contagious only thru blood to blood contact and remains viable in air for only a short time...
