Teak i know that yuo said i had no risk for HIV but what about HEP, i posted the risks belew.

back in november i was at a local community center and i went into the bathroom to wash my hands and i broke the soap dispensor and i was trying to fix it and while i was doing that i noticed there was a bunch of blood drops on the sink and some on the nozzle where the water comes out but i didnt notice any on the handle but i also didnt examine the nozzle very well, i washed my hands and i think i even spashed water into my face and stuff before i noticed the blood, then the other day i went to get into a first aide kit at my job and when i closed the kit door i saw some blood on the latch that closes the door, i dont know how long that was there or anything. I didnt have any large open bleeding cuts like everyone says you need but i had some light scrathches and stuff. Thats why i am wondering about how long HIV survives outside the body, so i can judge my risks and stuff

Not only has he been told on this forum that he didn't have a risk, he was also told on the Drs forum and I believe they advised him to deal with his OCD issues.
