Nails salon
Hello I work at a nail salon and while working on this lady I cut her finger accidentally and the blood came on my fingers. Then My supervisor took the lady to treat her woond. And I took the sharp instrument to clean it with a tissue and it cut me and ironically in the same finger as the lady. Do I have a rik from her blood splashed on my finger as I have a small cut? Do I have a risk from being cut the same sharp object with her blood present on it?
May I ask a question.
Have you ever gave an assesment to anyone that he had no risk and turned out that he had and got infected?

Yes it was & I told you there was no HIV risk but there may have been a risk of the HCV.
I am not a client . I work ther and the clients blood came on my finger with a cut on my finger then imidiatly as I was cleaning it it cut me with her blood on me. Just wanted to clarify this. Does it make a diference
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.
No risk for HIV but maybe for the HCV.This happens all the time in salons & barber shops with razors.There has never been a reported case of HIV transmission.
