AIDS - Aids from cut?


Expert: John Thai, M.D. - 9/16/2009

Question
I went into a nightclub the other day with a cut on my foot, the floor was wet, with probably drinks but could have been anything. Is there an chance i could get aids or anything else like meninjitus?

Answer
hi laura,

no risks of hiv. aids is a syndrome when the immune of system of those affected by hiv falls below a certain point. the possibility may be bacterial infections from poor wound care. you should be fine as long as you do not notice any changes at the site of the "cut" or experience any bodily symptoms. changes include discharge, discoloration, size, tenderness, or warmth.
