May sweat transmit HIV?

Dear Ask The Doctor: Can a person get infection having cut wound in hand(5 days old) touching body through body sweat.

Dear Abhishek: it is not likely that touching body sweat may infect you, but various research studies have shown that young adults tend to be at higher risk of being infected by HIV, mainly through high risk activities such as: unprotected sexual intercourse (especially receptive anal), large number of sexual partners with unknown HIV status, previous or current STDs (Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Genital Herpes), sharing intravenous drugs paraphernalia, blood transfusions (before 1985 in US), mucosal contact with infected blood or needle-stick injuries, persons who exchange sex for money and/or drugs. In the infected individuals the highest concentrations of the virus are in blood, less in the semen and vaginal secretion. The virus does not spread through casual contact such as preparing food, sharing towels and bedding, or via swimming pools, telephones, or toilet seats. The virus is also unlikely to be spread by contact with saliva, unless it is contaminated with blood. Diagnosing HIV involves a blood test. Most people who are aware of a previous exposure should be tested every six months. While in most cases it takes three months for an HIV test to show up as positive after exposure, some people have carried HIV for as long as ten years without symptoms. Testing every six months after exposure is recommended as a significant precautionary method.
