There really is no realistic transmission mechanism here. Incidental contact with blood from any type of surface does not pose a risk, even if you had wounds on your hands/fingers. The virus is not infectious outside the body, and it has to be directly introduced into the blood stream to infect someone.
The only incidents of occupational transmission of HIV occur in a healthcare setting- that is all you really need to focus on.
Your post really suggests profound ignorance of HIV, both with respect to transmission and as a condition. I suggest that you educate yourself by reading through the HIV forums here, so you can be more comfortable working with this man.
okay I will tyr and calm down thank you for help he is nice person hope he is ok
good Lord. dont have sex or share needles with the guy and you will not be a risk.
I have continued reading and found that people can't get hiv from jobs such as office work but in medical feild they can becuase of blood. Well at my job there is blood too. I think I may have to talk with the owner I am not put myself at risk
What is an enviornmental surface though. A hammer or wrench is not made from nature so doeas that count. I am so worried But If i tell Boss I'm afraid he will fire this person for insurance reasons. Maybe he will get too sick to work. I'm sure normally people with hiv don't do this kind of work right
"ARE THEY EVEN SUPPOSED TO STILL BE WORKING WITH DEADLY SICKNESS?" what are you even talking about????????
hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child
it is not transmitted from environmental surfaces.
