Confused On HIV spreading
I had a small pin point cut on my forehead with sharp iron object. If the iron object is infected with HIV virus do I also get HIV? The Iron object doesn't had any fresh blood on it however turmeric powder was there on it.

You need to take tetanus, because tetanus can happen after exposure from iron.
