Is this a risk?
Hi, so I was playing basketball and I always wipe my face sweat with the my shirt when playing. In a recent instance, I wiped my face and looked down after and saw blood on my shirt which wasn't mine. If I had wiped that spot into my eye, would that be a risk of infection if that blood contained HIV? I've read where blood splatter to the eye is a possible risk. Do I need to get tested? Thank you for your responses.
