Can aids infected blood enter a dry healing cut?
Category: HIV/AIDS
For aids to spread through blood to blood contact, would both the aids infected person and aids-free person need to be bleeding? Or can aids spread through dry cuts that aren’t bleeding? And how likely are you to get aids without doing anything involving dirty needles or having unprotected sex?

If there is a crack in it, yes.

A scab acts as a barrier so most of the time you’d be just fine if you got AIDS infected blood on a scab or healing wound… BUT if there is a crack or opening in the scab you could possibly become infected but chances are low. More of a risk if you had a huge, gaping bleeding wound that came in contact with a large amount of AIDS infected blood.
