Can hiv, be transmitted through a finagernail ?
Question:
Answers:
Hello, well, HIV cannot be transmitted throught a fingernail. HIV, like any other viruses, survive when in the presence of blood, but cannot survive when in air (oxygen) or water. In the case of the fingernail, its like being exposed to air, and so HIV cannot be transmitted. However, a word of caution - the fingernail can act as a carrier of HIV to exposed areas if what you are touching is infected blood, and if the blood remains in its current condition. Then you might scratch yourself with the same fingernail/s and the infected blood might go in a microscopic wound or sratch causing a possible spread.
