You mentioned that a potential risk, aside from unprotected sex or drug injection, could be a large exposure to blood, such as aiding someone heavily bleeding. I want to confirm that the following event does not constitute a risk.
On Monday, I was walking to a cafeteria when it started raining lightly. I saw an ambulance about 10 meters away and felt anxious. I did not see anyone injured, but a security guard suggested something had happened. Despite using an umbrella, I felt drops on my face and eyes. At home, I noticed a tiny red dot near my eye but assumed it could be anything.
On Thursday, I saw about 10 minuscule red dots on my face. I had showered once since Tuesday but might not have washed my face well. I worried these dots could be blood. However, I reasoned that if someone had bled nearby, I would have noticed large stains, not just tiny dots on my face. Additionally, outside healthcare settings, risk only exists with significant blood exposure, so 10 tiny red dots would not be enough to constitute a risk, right?
Am I assessing this correctly, and was there no real risk? Please help me out with arguments to logically understand this. Many thanks in advance.
