Blood and Eye
Hi everyone,
Today a customer in a shop I work in rubbed his hands together (which had several plasters on) and I think i might have felt something hit my eye. Am I correct in thinking this isn't a risk of HIV, as there would need to be a lot of blood for a potential exposure (0.08%??) ??
Thanks and God bless

Wow, thanks, you three, for such speedy replies! RainLover, is it not an extremely rare mode of transmission??
Even if it was blood it's still no risk,because getting blood in your eye is not a mode of HIV transmission.You can relax now.
No risk. To even think that something hit your eye and it was blood because someone rubbed there hands together is a sign of some anxiety and maybe some therapy would help.
