Dr, sorry to write another Q so soon, I know this is my last because of the 6 month rule, I have just been having a nervous few days. Today I was using a toilet at work, and when I finished I used some toilet paper to wipe the seat, as there was a drop of liquid. I thought I used sufficient so that it wouldn't contact my hand (in case it wasn't mine!) but I'm worried it could have contacted my hand now. I then remember rubbing my eye, I probably used my arm or the back of my hand, but now I'm worried I could have contacted my fingers or the part of my hand used for wiping up the liquid, but have become worried I did use my fingers which may have been contaminated with the liquid. My worries fuelled when I thought about another worker who shares this toilet and I've heard that she once had a boyfriend who may be gay. Of course I worry what if the liquid was blood and I stuck my finger in my eye. Hypothetically even if this is the case, am I right not to worry? It seems from the threads I shouldn't. Even if the blood had HIV and hadn't died yet, would the blink response etc of the eye protect me? I gather that you should only worry about such exposures if u get a lot of stuff in your eye (though I read a thread by Dr Hook that said someone getting sperm in the eye from a HIV infected person could be 1 in 100 chance of infection which frightens me!!!)
