hello everybody. i have maybe a stupid question. please, i had a bussiness meeting with a guy, whose hiv status is very questionable due to his promiscuite personal life i have known about from our common friends, and there are some rumors about hiv in his case,... he has had bleeding some 1 cm long cut on his finger }not very big and you know, you just dont think about it at the moment), showed me something on his ipad, touching it with this finger, (the blood/cut definitely was fresh) and i immediately touched the ipad... the thing is, my little son was with me and i am a bit anxious about it because of him. the guy was bleeding on his finger, i was touching the same things at the same time, then i touched the glass and toys of my child immediately... i am not afraid of me, i didnt have any cuts, nothing, but my son as every child rubbs his eyes, rubbs and picks his nose, has various minor cuts on hands... (and for the moment touched the ipad at the same time too). the amount of blood would not be great, and yes, i am maybe stupid, but i just cant handle with the fear concerning my child... thank you very much for your help.

There are no stupid questions when it comes to the safety of our children.

Neither you nor your son had a risk and there is no need to test.
