Foods and HIV
I am not here to down play anyones risk or anxiety about hiv, but I do have a question about food handling and hiv or hepitis. I went to a place just a bit ago and got some food as I was watching the person making my food I noticed a bandaid on his pointing finger. The guy had just washed his hands had a bandaid with white medical tape wrapped around it. So he gets my tortia and lays it over a basket and then hand with bandaid on finger places his hand (top of hand down not up) on the tortia to push it down to be able to put all the ingredients in it. Im thinking yuck gross i should of said something like where is your glove. He had no glove on. Im just worried about something like hepitits or hiv exposure here. After you wash your hands and have a bandaid on who only knows whats oozing out. So i came home and I cant believe this but i ate the end of it and thinking why am i eating this i shouldnt have. I only ate the end of it. Is there any chance im gonna get something from this. Im sorry I didnt know where else to post besides here and the anxiety forum.
