no risk from what you are describing.

trivial cuts, scrapes, scratches, etc. simply are not a sufficient entry for infection.

Hi;

I was cleaning the toilet door on my job when I saw some partially dry blood on it. when trying to wipe it with a wet cloth I accidenty touch it with my index finger which had a fresh cut on it.

well if the blood was from a HIV + person will this put me at risk of contracting HIV?

Thanks
