let me tell what I understood correct me if I am wrong
1)when you say mucous membrane exposure to body fluids is low risk of hiv transmission .it means hiv infection from like this events rarely or never occurs.
2)when you say amount of body fluid is not important but the amount of virus is important.this means small or large amount doesn't matter if it contains enough virus.it can lead to hiv infection.
3)finally , hiv infection from mucous membranes exposure are rare or never occurs, people should not be worried even if large or small, amount of fresh blood or semen is exposed to their mucous membranes.
4)practically nobody got hiv infection from like this events??

Your questions are repetitive and really provide little useful information to you or to others who might read this thread. This is my third and therefore, as per Forum guidelines, final reply to this thread. While clients may ask additional questions if they choose to open a new question, in your case I would urge you not to waste your time or money. There will be no further repetitive answers. This thread will be closed later today
1)when you say mucous membrane exposure to body fluids is low risk of hiv transmission .it means hiv infection from like this events rarely or never occurs.
Correct, splash exposures of the sort you have asked for rarely if ever lead to HIV infection.
2)when you say amount of body fluid is not important but the amount of virus is important.this means small or large amount doesn't matter if it contains enough virus.it can lead to hiv infection.
Correct. The most important determinant of transmission of HIV through sexual exposure or injection, the two major routes by which HIV is transmitted, is the amount of virus present, not the volume of material to which a person is exposed.
3)finally , hiv infection from mucous membranes exposure are rare or never occurs, people should not be worried even if large or small, amount of fresh blood or semen is exposed to their mucous membranes.
Correct, see above.
4)practically nobody got hiv infection from like this events??
Correct
