Hiv and eye
I was cleaning a wound with saline water when l felt like a drop of water around the corner of my eye. I am thinking it is the drop of water which hit the wound and went into my eye. Suppose the person was hiv positive, can l get hiv from this incident.
What about if the water was mixed with blood which was hiv positive which went into my eye

NO RISK. And, this is an unlikely event. There is almost zero chance that the water had HIV blood in it. Even if it did, this is not a risk and you do not need to test. HIV is acquired by:
1) having unprotected, penetrative anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.
That's it. Anything else you think of is not a risk.
