[Question #7945] Question

50 months ago

Greetings Dr. Handsfield. Please do not delete this one. I want to ask few new questions. I am trying to suppress my fears and ignore what I think hazard (any pink, red and brown stains on any surfaces). But "what if this was real hazard" comes to my mind. Nonetheless, I am managing to ignore most of them. I consider this question to be a last meal for my germophobic fears. I promise I will not ask any more questions.

1. I have searched here but could not find any question regarding whether urine is biohazard? There was a man urinating on sidewalk, so I was walking back with my groceries (plastic bag), and I am concerned if some urine sprayed on my groceries, could poses a risk? or if some urine gets in to injury?

3. Follow up to my previous question #7785, can be cancer?

Thanks

I'm sorry, but repeated anxiety driven questions are not permitted -- based on what I believe to be your previous usernamd and account, this is your fifth or sixth question like this.

If you do not have sex or share drug injection equipment with an infected person, you will never be at risk of HIV. Nobody ever gets HIV from touching, or from body fluids in the environment, including urine; and also including blood in the (e.g. blood in snow) and anything else.

Any further questions along these lines will be delted without even this much reply.

Thanks for your understanding.
