| Response from Dr. McGowan
 There is no real risk from the dried blood. There is very little HIV in a drop of blood and CDC laboratory studies have shown that drying HIV reduces the viral amounts by 90 to 99 percent within several hours. No one has ever been infected after exposure to HIV from being exposed to HIV from their surroundings. Best, Joe | ||||||||
