1)i sat as pillion on some ones bike who gave me lift for some journey....as the bike is moveing fastly around 80kmph due   to the force of air on to the eyes of the bike rider ,his eyes start tearing...tears around 10 are directly came to hit my eye as i sat beside me with ny face near to his neck during that journey due to air as i was not with goggles..what happens if the rider has hiv...even tears has low amounts of hiv,they directly come in contact with my eye about 10 drops of tears which has sufficient amount of virus than the 1 or 2 drops of tears having the virus....what is my risk?
2)when i went to test my hiv status in the hiv testing center ,while collecting the blood from the previous person who has hiv+ve some of his blood splashes into my eye due to his refusal from the iv needle stick ..he with draws his arm and unfortunately the phelbotomist push the plunger of syringe containing some blood accidentally....the blood 2or 3 drops are splashed  into my eye ....i came home with some fear without consulting the physician.......what are my risks....please tell me....i heared that there are some cases due to blood splash into eye thats why i am freaking out.......
