possible transmission??

[jlynne399]

I was at the pediatrician with my daughter and noticed while she was having exam that there was some blood on her foot. i tried to wipe off with my finger but it was dry. i then noticed it was not her blood because doctors hand a small cut. her skin was not broken so im not too worried about her. but my hands are dry and cracked..any chance of transmission this way? if the dr was hiv positive or had any other disease would he by law have to inform us??

Are you in treatment for anxiety? If not you should be. Not trying to be rude, just trying to be helpful because a non-anxiety person would not think the above. I have anxiety myself.

yes i do have anxiety and yes i saw small cut/crack on his hands with wet blood. the blood on her foot was like a smear and was dry

This is not a mode of transmission in any event because the HIV virus is so fragile and weak outside the body that it becomes inactive as soon as it is exposed to air,rendering it unable to infect,your daughter is perfectly safe.All the best.

Do you have a lot of anxiety in daily life? Because this is an anxiety driven question. Why not bring it up right then and there with the Dr? How do you know the Dr had a smal cut? You saw blood dripping? Blood does not dry all the quick.
