Glucumeter
My friend gave me a glucometer one touch, the glocumeter one touch is old and previously used by my friend , when i check the glucometer if it is working or in good condition, i forget that i have a 2 hours old cut (Reddish, but is not actively bleeding). if the glocumeter is old and if there is some blood came from my friend and goes to my 2 hours cuts, do you think i have a risk in hepatitis or hiv?

No risk as HIV does not survive for long outside of the body. An old glucometer is therefore of no risk. Incidentally an old glucometer that is not regularly calibrated is not recommend for obtaining an accurate blood sugar.
Anyone here can easey fear
