I've always sort of wondered what the actual chances are of spreading HIV through blood. Like say there's a person without HIV with just a small cut is in an area where there have been many people with HIV or AIDS very frequently passing through. And say those people with HIV and AIDS could have also gotten a cut or something like that. What are the actual chances of HIV passing to the other person?

HIV can survive a while on the outside..so the chances are pretty high. Best option is not to touch blood at all.

Usually belong to blood-borne AIDS, sexually transmitted, especially male homosexuality. With the use of needles is very easily transmitted.

I can not say actual percentages but there is always a risk. That is why any blood or other bodily fluid should always be cleaned by using gloves and disinfectant. It is also important why you should wash your hands properly before eating, after toilet etc. AIDS and HIV can not live outside of the body for any long period of time, so if someone had HIV and left blood on a shopping cart the changes of another getting hiv or aids from it are small. Obviously people need to take some precautions, and if you are in a public place and see blood or fluid then advise the management or clean it using disinfectant. Aids can not be transferred kissing unless a very large amount of fluid is transferred. Nor can it be transferred with handshakes. Obviously if someone has sores that are open weeping or bleeding the you should not shake hands with them.

If it's a casual contact that someone with HIV touched something and someone else touched it the chances are very low. HIV is very weak and dies outside the body. The major ways people become infected is unprotected sex, both men and women are at high risk, and sharing needles with IV drugs.
