hiv deep concern
I am a waitress and i had an older customer ***** their finger im asuming to check her blood sugar before she ate. I did not think much about it until I was cleaning the table and the strip that u put the drop of blood on was at the table and it kind of poked or touched my finger w/ a scabbed cut. I was not bleeding or anyrhing but I did have a small scab from biting my nails. Is this a risk for HIV. I washed my hands afterwards. Just to point out it was not the needle but the strip u put the blood on. Please respond. I dont know if this is my ocd or what but im scared.
no risk as hiv quickly become inactive when it hits the air, very careless of the customer to leave something like that.
