Not so sure, these are said to be unusual cases but still...In order to contract HIV from a cut, you would literally have to merge cuts on both men for a matter of minutes and even then it wouldn't be certain.
Blood flows out, it doesn't flow in.
Little known fact: Ruben Dario Palacios is the first and only world champion stripped of his title for testing positive for HIV. He was the WBO featherweight champion but was stripped before his first defense.
The second case was diagnosed in 1991. In 1989
he had been a guest at a wedding reception, where he
had fought with an intruder. Both men sustained
injuries and bled profusely. The guest, who was in
his 40s, was admitted to hospital ten days later with
nausea, sore throat, diarrhoea, and a generalised rash.
A non-specific viral infection was diagnosed. It was
later learnt that the intruder was HIV positive. In 1991
the guest donated blood and was found to be HIV
positive. He reported no recognised risk factors for
HIV infection in either himself or his sexual partners.
His wife of 17 years was HIV negative. Stored serum
specimens, taken several days apart during his 1989
hospital admission, were tested for HIV antibodies
and showed a rising antibody titre, consistent with
seroconversion
The third case was another man in his 40s, who
had fought with an injecting drug user (IDU). A
considerable amount of blood had been lost by both
men. The day after the fight the IDU’s sister told the
case that her brother was HIV positive. The wife of
the case sought an HIV test two days later and was
found to be HIV negative. On her advice the case
asked for an HIV test at that time but was advised
this was not indicated, given the type of exposure he
described. About four days after the fight he became
increasingly lethargic, complained of headaches, and
felt generally unwell. Six weeks after the fight he had
lost about two stones in weight and was becoming
increasingly disorientated. He was admitted to hospital two weeks later with what appeared to be
HIV encephalitis, and an HIV antibody test confirmed
the diagnosis.Comment
