Manicure and risk of HIV
Yesterday I was getting my nails done at a salon and the lady
cut
Cuts and puncture wounds
my cuticle and it began to bleed. Before I was able to ask her anything, she picked up a tiny bottle of liquid styptic and applied it to my

directly. She did not use an applicator, but the tip touched my skin a bit. Am I at risk of

Acute hiv infection
Asymptomatic hiv infection
Elisa/western blot tests for hiv

Histoplasmosis, disseminated in hiv patient

Hives (urticaria) on the arm

infection? I did not see any blood (wet or dry on the tip of the bottle), but still. I believe nail technicians have to use a cotton or another applicator and never let the tip of the bottle touch other people's skins.
