Can you get HIV from an electric nail file that cuts you in a nail shop and hasn't been cleaned?

No, the virus cannot live outside the human body for more than a minute or two. However, hepatitis B %26amp; C can be transmitted this way, however, I have never personally heard of a case obtained in this manner, but it is a possibility.Can you get HIV from an electric nail file that cuts you in a nail shop and hasn't been cleaned?
if it is not cleaned if it is wet yet,and if that wet blood is of the one who is infected,the chances of getting HIV,is possible,with a very remote one.i wish and pray all these if s does not happen.Can you get HIV from an electric nail file that cuts you in a nail shop and hasn't been cleaned?
No you cannot
What applies to the ways to get hepatitis apply to ways to get HIV.
Only if it was previously used on an HIV+ client and there's a body fluid on it and it's used on you within a few hours and it cuts your skin and the body fluid on the file enters your bloodstream.
Not unless there's *wet* blood on it from a person who was infected.
Highly unlikely. The HIV virus is very weak, and needs almost immediate blood/blood contact to survive. So don't worry about HIV, but maybe worry about other infections (such as bacteria) that may well be able to survive on a nail file.
no
No...the virus doesn't live that long outside the body. However you can get nail fungi, and infections if they don't clean it properly.
