SCARED SENSELESS

yes i recently went to the mall and when i got home i noticed dried blood on my hand i noticed it wasnt mine. im 34 weeks pregnant so very worried about husband and baby. I also used the restroom not noticing the blood at the mall or when i got it on me should i be concerned? i came into contact with one cashier hand to hand but didnt notice any blood on my receipt upon later inspection

hiv is not transmitted through environmental surfaces or inanimate objects.  once exposed to air, it becomes INACTIVE and UNABLE to infect.
