Can you catch HIV if you have hangnails or small cuts near your fingers?

It is highly unlikely to contract HIV through the scenario you described. The virus is typically spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids like blood or semen. In this situation, the risk of exposure is very low, especially if you immediately washed your hands. It is important to always practice safe hygiene habits to minimize any potential risks.
