hiv infection risk PLEASE help
      #127334 - 12/18/04 03:48 PM

ok a few hours ago i had a bleeding bit at the skin on the bottomcorner of my index finger so i went and got a bandaid.

i had just washed the cut and tryed to put the bandaid over it the first time but didnt manage. i then looked again and there was a tiny spot of blood on it. i didnt think anything of it and then tried to put it on again. then i realised that it could have been someone elses blood and went and washed the cut again.

the bandaid had just comee out of the little packet but i am still worried.

is it possible to transmit it this way and should i get a test?

Your not serious are you? If you just openend this bandaid from a brand new package why would you assume somebody elses blood was on it? Secondly HIV dies wants it dries and it next to impossible to transmit after it is exposed to the open hair within a minute. you need to educate yourself on how hiv is and is not transmitted.
