[Question #7014] Touching Blood, HIV risk.
8 months ago
|
I am a
female. I had protected vaginal and anal sex with a man 2 weeks
ago. I was confident with my encounter because
as far as I know the condom was used correctly.
However, this
Monday I cut myself with a piece of glass while washing the dishes, it was not
a big wound but it bled for a couple of minutes, a friend of mine was there when
it happened, and he helped me to wash and put a bandit in the wound, he touched
my fresh blood and then he washed his hands. I am not sure if he had any cuts
in his hands.
Unfortunately the blood triggered my imagination and made me hesitate about the
safety of my last encounter and my HIV status and now I am worried because my
friend touched my blood.
Assuming I
have HIV or Hep C. Is my friend in a risk
because he touched my blood?
Do I need a test?
As general
information, if I had had unprotected vaginal and anal sex. What will be my
chance in numbers to get HIV?
