Freak accident

I had a sandwich and the guy at the soccer field serving it had got a recent cut and was dripping blood. not sure if that went in the sandwich. If it did what is my risk. This just happened 2 hours ago. I am getting worried as my kids eat the sandwich also. The guy did not realize he was bleeding.

What is the risk of hiv by eating a sandwich with some blood drops.

Please help very worried.

Thank you. Gives me a big relief knowing even if there was HIV infected blood on the sandwich and me and my kids eat that infected sandwich, we are not at risk.

YES STILL NO RISK!!  And if you seen blood on a sandwich you wouldn't eat it Right?  You are just guessing that there was blood because you seen blood on his hand?

Blood or no blood still no risk

Thanks for your feedback makes me feel relaxed.

But me and my kids eat the sandwich which had blood drops from the guy. Are u saying, the virus will be killed in my stomach and mouth. I am assuming the other guy was HIV positive.

More worried because my kids eat the sandwich also.  Would your answer be the same "no risk" and I do not need to worry.

Thanks a lot for you help.

None whatsoever. You can't get HIV from environmental surfaces, including a sandwich.
