Sweating It

Sweating It

Hello,

I was helping a mover and slit my finger on a large staple on a box.  The mover dripped 3 to 4 beads of sweat onto my hand.  Is there any risk associated with this?

Thank you,
alex

So, sweat does not contain HIV?  No Risk even with a cut finger on the staple?

Some times I wonder if you guys are serious with some of these questions.  I wouldn't even waste another second of my life thinking about HIV if that is the only exposure you had.  But why you are here, take a look at some of the horror stories so that you will remember them if you are ever in a situation that might be a real risk.
