- I've seen speculation in Ireland and a brawl between the two men on the road. One of them was wounded in the head. I went to him and helped him. The blood of this person on my hands and potential income in my eyes of a little I do not know.
Q / Can I get AIDS through: -

(1) If this person was blood on my fingers.my Fingers contain cracks and wounds do not bleed because I like to eat the skin around the nails always. Five minutes later, I went to the bathroom and washed my hands. Can i get AIDS this way?
2-If there is a simple blood splattered entered my eyes or my mouth and I did not feel so. can i get AIDS this way?

Please help me. I am very concerned

Personally I would nto call it a cause for concern. HIV dies when it is outside of the body in the fresh air. You doing your role as a caring citizen and that is it. You are fine.
