Cut at Home Depot

[a_mando]

Hello there,

I was at Home Depot last week buying some lumber, and after few mins being in store I noticed that my finger was bleeding due to a small cut. The cut was small and little deep and would bleed easily when I squeeze it.
I got really worried because it is  very possible someone else has cut himself/herself while picking up lumber. the lumber has rough edges.
I know for sure that there is at least one minute between me and the previous customer. what are the chance of contracting HIV in this scenario?

You prompt answer is highly appreciated.

There are three ways you can contract HIV.

1) UNPROTECTED INSERTIVE ANAL/VAGINAL SEX WITH AN HIV+ PARTNER

2) SHARING DRUG WORKS (IV NEEDLES) WITH AN HIV+ PERSON

3) HIV+ MOTHER TO HER UNBORN CHILD

If you did not engage in any of these activities, you had no risk. I hope your worry and confusion has been addressed.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply, even if someone cut himself or herself a minute or two before me? I am really confused and so worried. thanks again.
