Patient's question:
Doctor, I was bitten by an insect today, and others said it was pubic lice. Now it's not bleeding anymore. Then I went to the hospital. If the wound from the bite of pubic lice touches a HIV-positive person's prostate, will I get HIV? Doctor, what should I do now?Doctor's answer:
This situation may lead to HIV infection. The main transmission routes of HIV are sexual transmission, blood transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. If the bite wound of pubic lice comes into contact with a large amount of body fluids or blood from an HIV-infected person, then HIV infection may occur. During this period, you can pay close attention to your own condition and observe whether symptoms such as multiple occurrences of general weakness, reduced appetite, or sudden weight loss appear.
