I was walking on road when an iron wire hit my leg and it bled. It was a busy road, so it must have hit some other peoples legs as well. Am worried about contracting hiv. What do I do.

No you do not get HIV like this. But however vaccinate yourself against Tetanus and HEP B. Please take private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and then give you prescription.

Fortunately, HIV is not transmitted in this way. As soon as blood dries, virus dies. So you need not worry. Just take a TT injection if not done so in last 5 years.
