Possible blood exposure at playground

[berryblue11]

Yesterday while playing at a Chic-fil-a playground there was a little boy who was playing there with his sister and my 2 toddlers.  The little boy started crying hysterically bc his older sister had taken off his socks or was trying.  I went to get the mother (yes she was sitting just inside the door and there was a window there but was oblivious to him crying.)

Apparently he had a boo boo that was covered with a bandaid and was told not to take his socks off.  My 3 year old daughter was on the slide beside him when his bandaid came off.  I did not see any visible blood coming out of the cut but there was blood on the bandaid. It all happened so fast bc my 3 year old was coming down the slide and I couldn't stop her.  My daughter does have 2 old scratches on her foot.  I'm not sure how old they are and she has a hang nail on her big toe.

Should we be worried about possible HIV exposure or HEP from this incident. My husband says I'm being silly but all I heard from the mom was comforting her son and said they'd leave it off overnight and put one back on.

I guess I just don't really how HIV or HEP is spread really so any thought of a random bandaid freaks me out.

Thanks for the comments. Is there a place where I can learn more about the spread of HIV? I don't want to continue to post on this topic since it's a no-risk situation.

well first you have to learn basic facts than even thinking about HIV.
HIV cannot be transmitted through the way you describe.the reason is it is indeed a very fragile virus and it cannot survive in air.Even there is not a single documented case in which HIV can be transmitted via the way you describe.

No HIV cannot be spread this way.
