See blood a good rule?
I was volunteering at an underfunded free, not sterile looking (relative to a hospital) HIV clinic in Washington, DC that has hundreds of visitors daily for hiv treatment, bloodwork, and tests. After work I left and noticed several cuts on my fingers, partially healed. My question is... if I didn't see any blood and can't remember interacting with any blood.... any hiv in blood that may have been on door handles or other things I handled all day probably wouldn't survive in the environment right? These worries and OCD is embarrassing-- but also very real.
