Hijab pin prick
Hello.
I don't know if I'm worrying unnecessarily. At work today a workmate gave me a hug. She was wearing a hijab with a visible pin (similar to the tailor's pins but a big longer) .When she gave me the hug I noticed a prick on my neck, superficial, no blood present. Does it possess a risk for hep c/ hiv transmission if she had prick herself previously? The pin was touching her face superficially. I hope it makes sense.
