 Hello Freaking Out Personal Trainer, Even if your client were an HIV-positive Freddy Kruger or Edward Scissorhands, your HIV risk would be nonexistent. Do you need PEP? No, of course not. What you do need is to read the archives of this forum, paying particular attention to how HIV is and is not transmitted. Dr. Bob | |||||||||
