hiv+ tester
Good day,
I went to be tested yesterday for HIV. While the test was being conducted I noted that the administrator was not wearing a latex gloves. The test done was the Oraquick advance. when the test was complete I was negative. However, the test administrator told me he was positive. I did not see any visible sign of his blood. However, he did not use any latex gloves while wiping the blood off my hands with the gauze and he openned the bandaid for my fingers. What is my risk of contracting the disease from him?
