Concerned
I am a hairstylist. I cut my finger yesterday while cutting hair. I of course immediately cleaned it and put a band aid on it. When I got home I noticed some blood on the outside of the bandaid that wasnt mine. I cut alot of mens hair and many have scalp conditions. My question is am I at risk if I possibly rubbed my eyes or if some of this blood got into my cut? It was enough blood to stain the outside of the bandaid.
Hi vance..I was cutting a guys hair bald with my trimmers and some of the hair got in my eye and stuck in my skin. This may sound like a strange question but was I at any risk. This kind fella had aids he was telling me his cd4 was around 180..any risk here.?
Dies quickly, water kills it, not enough for a risk, not deep enough cut...i could go on and on.
Thank you Vance! Is it because the virus dies so quickly that I didnt have a risk and also does water make the virus live longer?
