hiv from cut and tissue paper packet - sanitary pad

hiv from cut and tissue paper packet - sanitary pad

Hi i'm sure i am worrying about nothing but netherless i am still going to worry!

i went to a pub the other day and went to  the ladies, i was a little bit drunk but 2 things happened and please don't laugh.

1. I dropped my earing on the floor, it was queit expensive so i was kinda looking for it.there was a tissue packet and it had fallen in there so i had to get it out. Little bit worried that there could have been urine, maybe blood on the packet not to sure bathroom there are many germs etc
2. I don't want to be rude here but used the ladies "bin" and it was full some woman had left her "stuff" on display and i accidentaly touched the pad which had blood on it.

Now the thing that has got me most concerned it i had papercuts from doing my work earlier on both hands i have obviously touched these things with my hands with cuts "fresh" cuts is this a route for hiv transmission.

Thanks in advance.
Tia

Nothing you describe put you at risk for HIV

hiv is not transmitted through environmental surfaces or inanimate objects.  once exposed to air, hiv becomes inactive and unable to infect.
