I touched my boss' wet blood
Hi!
While at work, my boss and I were pulling tile off of a pool and she cut herself, not realizing it, I touched her wet blood and it got on my hand after I touched the same tile.
I have a lot of cuts on my hands because of dry skin and what I do, is it possible if I scratched myself with that tile or if her blood went into one of my open wounds to become infected with HIV?

Cool! Thank you for getting back to me. It was kind of a weird setting since it's my boss, I don't even know how I could ask her "when was the last time you were tested?" without it being even more weird.
Thank you again!
Thank you again!
You're right, my wounds weren't bleeding at all but hers was dripping blood (just from a tiny cut on her finger), I don't know if that matters?
