boxers and a cut
Hello,
I am currently on vacation in Thailand. Yesterday, I spilled something in a closet where I share space with five other guys. In a dash to clean it up, I ended up cutting myself on something on my small finger. It wasn't too bad of a cut, but enough to bleed. Naturally there were some clothes lying around the room, and while cleaning up I accidentially touched this one guy's worn boxers (gross!). What if my open cut had come into contact with these boxers? What is my risk for HIV??
