Riscos contaminação
Goodnight! I work in a laboratory and I have a question. a blood sample from the patient was centrifuged, I transferred the blood serum, product of the separation, to another transport tube. a white tube. then I threw this tube into a bag to send this material. I was wearing glasses. I felt my right eye water. Am I at risk? hiv or hcv? Thanks for your response
hiv is dead in air so it would be dead long before eye contact.

even if it's too fast? is it already dead? I'm afraid to hit the bag and fall in the eye.
another question. I was collecting the patient's blood, I punctured it and I didn't see blood rising to my eye, but during the collection my eye also watered. but also had personal protective eyewear. I apologize for my anxiety. thanks for your patience with me.
You have asked about this same event before, and this time you had protective eyewear. Blood is not magic, and it cannot jump through eyewear.
We are not going to answer about this type of event again. If you have anxiety, you need to address that as we do not provide anxiety support.

I'll try not to worry then, I'm very afraid of these things. but since my glasses were clean, I don't think there was any blood.
