According to the doctor, such a thing cannot happen. Transmission of the virus requires sexual contact or fresh blood. HIV does not survive in dried or stale blood.
The infectious diseases specialist commented on the information that a woman from Pskov, who used the services of a manicurist, contracted HIV infection. And then I found out that I had accidentally contracted HIV infection after I ended up in an infectious diseases hospital for another illness.
The expert emphasized that he doubted that the woman may have contracted an infection during the manicure, as there was no direct contact with blood.
“The routes of transmission are completely different; sexually (through sexual contact), from mother to child, and through blood. We understand that there should be no direct contact with blood during manicure, so I am very skeptical of these conclusions and think they are wrong,” said the expert.
