###Human: Will I get HIV infection by getting paper cuts from sharp things containing HIV blood? ###Assistant: Hello. Please note the beveled edge of paper cut do not cause HIV infection as paper soak all blood within seconds and the paper is dry. In a dry medium, no HIV stays alive, so no HIV infection. Your second question is not at all having meaning as by touch no HIV is transmitted. It is not the way of transmission. Only sex or blood infusion or needle prick within seconds when drawing blood of HIV positive patient. So, do not worry. You are safe. No HIV infection is there.
