Hiv on plaster.
Hi, ive posted before but this is a different issue. I was doing some washing up and cleaning in the kitchen and i had a couple of plasters on my fingers covering small cuts. After a period of time i noticed that one of the plasters had fallen off and i could not find it to dispose of it. Assuming im HIV+ what is the risk to others of my blood on that sticking plaster, the plaster may be in the dishwasher or in a vegetable rack, is the blood viable for spreading HIV to other people. If the plaster went through a cycle in the dish washer, would the blood on the plaster die?]
Cheers.

Yes i understand that. Can HIV be passed by my dried semen on bedsheets, door handle etc to another person?
yeah i know, i just get stuff lodged in my head about this, i know blood on a plaster is probably a low risk, but it fell off my finger and i couldnt find it, and i then started freaking out and posting on here, i have to apologise for this, sorry.
