Transmission through dry blood May 14, 2006 I recently had some strangers gauze bandage stuck on my hand, there was dry blood on it. I was not able to wash my hands for a good hour or so. I have no open visible cuts on my hand. Please tell me how high of a risk factor I am at for contamination of Hepatitis or HIV, I have been going crazy ever since this happened. |

 I would not get any testing based on this exposure. I would not worry any more about this. Dr. M | ||||||||
