Is there any chance of getting hiv in this story?

Question

I woke up one morning, went to school and found that there was a hole in my shoe. That day it was really wet because of the rain. My feet was soaked with water from the ground. I had covered about 3 kilometers in the city centre before arriving to school and another 3 km on the way back home. I went for a shower straight afterwards because my feet were dirty. I used my hands to wash my feet and also used my hands to wash my private part after. Also my feet had a cut which would have allowed hiv to have access. I know it seems so unlikely because it is a STD but I had covered 6 KM of walk and surely somewhere would have had hiv.
The hole on my shoe was big enough that wherever i walked any water from the ground would have been collected into my shoes and into my cut. Also it was a public area (city centre) which contained chewing gum, rubbish etc. It is also winter so hiv can survive longer. I am really worried aand i know this is really long. Thanks for answering my question.

Answer 1

You are not going to get HIV in this scenario. Here is information from the CDC on getting HIV from environmental sources:

"HIV in the Environment

Scientists and medical authorities agree that HIV does not survive well in the environment, making the possibility of environmental transmission remote. HIV is found in varying concentrations or amounts in blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, saliva, and tears. (See below, Saliva, Tears, and Sweat.) In order to obtain data on the survival of HIV, laboratory studies have required the use of artificially high concentrations of laboratory-grown virus. Although these unnatural concentrations of HIV can be kept alive under precisely controlled and limited laboratory conditions, CDC studies have showned that drying of even these high concentrations of HIV reduces the number of infectious viruses by 90 to 99 percent within several hours. Since the HIV concentrations used in laboratory studies are much higher than those actually found in blood or other specimens, drying of HIV- infected human blood or other body fluids reduces the theoretical risk of environmental transmission to that which has been observed--essentially zero.

Incorrect interpretation of conclusions drawn from laboratory studies have alarmed people unnecessarily. Results from laboratory studies should not be used to determine specific personal risk of infection because 1) the amount of virus studied is not found in human specimens or anyplace else in nature, and 2) no one has been identified with HIV due to contact with an environmental surface; Additionally, since HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is sensitive to fluctuations in temperature and the presence of oxygen. One place that HIV has been know to survive in is drug injection syringes since these are airtight and often contain blood from the injector."

Answer 2

No. The common misconception is that you can get HIV from saliva, like from chewing gum. You cannot. Plus, HIV can only survive from about 20 minutes outside the human body. It doesn't really matter if you had a cut on your foot and walked a long distance, or washed your foot and touched your private area, there was no situation in which you could have gotten HIV. Now, if yu stepped into a pool of blood that came from a person that was HIV+, then it would be possible. From this scenario, you're fine. HIV is not as easy to get as you seem to think. So, you'll be okay and stop worrying! ;-)

Answer 3

ANY unprotected sexual contact is a probability. Of all sexual sex, anal sex has the optimal probability of transmission, and oral sex has the bottom probability. maximum persons that've HIV do not have any indications, so that you are able to not tell basically through searching at someone no matter if or not they have HIV. many people bypass the virus on to others in the previous sorting out that they themselves are contaminated. the in trouble-free terms thanks to make certain once you've HIV is to get an HIV attempt. in case you understand that someone has HIV, you need to no longer be having vaginal or anal sex with them. keep in suggestions, condoms can destroy! BTW: those who understand they have HIV and characteristic sex with people without telling them about the an infection first would properly be prosecuted, convicted, and put in detention center. BTW

Answer 4

no you could not have gotten HIV from that. You can't get it from gum because it is not a bodily fluid that carries HIV/AIDS. It would have also been distilled in the water that you wee walking in if you could get it from that. HIV virus disinegrates when it hits air, once hiv positive blood is dried, the virus is dead....VERY unlikely like .0001% ever to happen that way. i wouldn't worry if i were you at all. Hope this helps~!

Answer 5

haha dont worry so much about that stuff.. i mean if you have a cut and you think that you might have contracted an STD first.. you might wanna go home and rinse it off with bleach and tons of water.. to make sure it get sanitized.. but mostlikely you caznnot contact an STD from that!

Answer 6

no hiv , dont worry , but its always good to get one every 6 moths if your sexually active. Youll just be ahppy to know that you are negative , itll make you feel better

Answer 7

PARANOID!
