Any risk
Last week I was helping with a party in the ER, this party had open wounds on his arms/shoulders that appeared to be fresh, I did not see any blood. During my asstitance I had to hold the person down for a few minutes. I had gloves on and did not see if any blood was in the area. When I went home I noticed a cut on my forearm, the cut appeared to be a day or so old. My concern is this person kept screaming dont get my blood in you. Is this a risk of hiv?
