Football blood exchange

hi guys,
i was playing sports and had ran into someone really hard and we both got scrapped and bloody. Is that considered blood to blood? the internet info i found said to go get PEP. Can you guys tell me what you think?
i dont know what 'open wound' really means, does mine qualify?

At no time were you at risk nor do you need nPEP.

Your contact was brief to say the least, you are not at risk. nPEP is administered to people who have had a genuine high risk exposure, this does not qualify.

Best wishes

Data is not needed.  It is simply too brief of an exchange for their to be a sufficient risk.  When you talk about examples of blood to blood, nPEP would only be administered if you have had a HIGH RISK exposure.  a HIGH risk example of blood to blood would be a blood transfusion.

If your doctor is advising that you do this, then it is up to him.  We are simply giving you a risk assessment of your 'exposure'
