Brief Answer:
No HIV or Hep B, C risk from faeco-oral transmission at all sir

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. HIV is not transmitted through the faeco-oral route sir. So you need not worry about HIV.

As for hepatitis, only the A and E variants of hepatitis are transmitted through the faeco-oral route. I would recommend waiting and watching for a few hours, if no symptoms appear, then you are perfectly fine. You need not be paranoid about it, I am sure you will be just fine.

I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions, always here to help

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

You need not apologise to me for asking me any questions sir, I am here to help clear your doubts until your heart and mind are at rest.

No sir, bruising cannot cause HIV. The HIV virus cannot survive in the outside environment for long, so such injuries or scenarios cannot result in HIV transmission. Similarly with Hep B and C, you cannot contract the infection in such a manner. :)

I hope this helps sir. :)

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
No risk to contract HIV, Hep B, C from this scenario

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

No sir, there is no risk from such a scenario in my opinion. Even if there was a small amount of bleeding from an injury caused by your unclean finger nail, there is no real risk and you may rest assured.

Best wishes.

what about the my suck touched the bottom of my shoes
doctor
Answered by Dr. Shoaib Khan (2 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
What exactly do you mean by 'suck' sir

Detailed Answer:
Hi sir.

What exactly do you mean by your 'suck'? Sucking is an action, and not a body part, which is why I am unclear about this part of your query.

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you accurately?

Best wishes.
