I was assisting the doctors today and what happened is fresh blood splashes reached my mask and my neck and im not sure if it got to my eyes . So the question is , should I worry ? Do you think that HIV test is necessary ? Thank you

As a medical professional, I'm surprise you would have to ask this question.  This is not how HIV is spread.  People only get HIV by having unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or sharing IV drug needles.  No risk.

I mean not just attending , does it get contracted through fresh blood splashes into the eyes after cutting down an artery ?
