Trauma resuscitation
Oct 20, 2009

While part of a trauma resuscitation, I was splashed by an HIV+ patient. I was gowned, gloved, and masked. Some blood got on my hair, and 30 min after we finished i washed my hair in the sink. When I stood straight up, water from my hair got onto my face and eyes. Could this pose a risk?

Response from Dr. Frascino

Hi,

Nope!

Dr. Bob
