bleeding cut
Dear All,
Would appreciate your time and tolerance in answering the following:
At my workplace I, yesterday, had a deep cut and a colleague helped me by taking out of the medical kit the hansaplast plasters and applying on on my wound whilst I was holding my finger. That was ofcourse very kind of him but my worry is if he had a cut himself or blood on his finger when touching the plaster which he then applied on my wound would that pose HIV transmiison risk?
Many thanks in advance for your replies and happy coming holidays

Thank you
