Seven Months Pregnant and Worried
Hello, and thank you for answering my question in advance...
Exactly one day ago I got a small cut on my palm from picking up a perfume box with a sharp corner, it oozed a little blood the it stopped, but it left a scratch on my skin...
More than 24 ours later, I used a public bathroom and there was a sanitary bin, while i was putting my used toilette paper in it *i'm seven months pregnant btw but there was no other place to throw my used toilette paper* my wool sweater sleeve got caught in the bin and the lid of the bin closed on it, i pulled it but i forgot about my one day old cut and the sleeve brushed on the cut. I washed my hands after a minute...but I am really worried that I might got HIV from the bin that is filled with used pads and tampons....
Is my unborn baby at risk?? Am I at risk? please answer... Thank you so much..
