Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Transmission of hiv can occur through closed wound if there are any secretions coming out from the wound. Before the healing is complete, if mucosal surfaces come in contact with even the secretions of a closed wound, chances of infection of transmission are there.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
