Wouldn't have mattered if his nose was right above your arm.
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users

No one would tell you that another pt had AIDS. That's a HIPPA violation and it's taken VERY seriously. Sorry, didn't happen.
Teak, the distance between the man's nose and my bleeding wound is only about 300mm.
