chapped hands and small papercut
So today i was working, I'm a cashier. This costumer asked for a paper towel, i give him one thinking maybe it's for his nose, or to wipe a mess. He comes up and he says he's got a bloody finger. I think nothing and just keep scanning his items until i felt something wet, it was blood. i got it on my hand, and i have chapped hands due to washing and using allot of hand sanitizer and a small cut on my finger, the one hand i used to wipe it off was the one with the small papercut,i put sanitizer on that finger as i rubbed it off. Without thinking. Can i get hiv ? I really can't get this off my mind ...
Ok because it was within maybe 10 seconds or so, guy had less than 15 items ...Thank you for responding
