sports thing / possible cut/cut transmission
hello everybody, i would appreciate your help much. i havent been here for ages, a few years maybe, but few days ago i got scared after quite a long time. i went rockclimbing on superficial wall and had a bad fall. the only bleeding thing was some 5 mm long and 1 mm wide scratch, not very deep but not really superficial either. it was bleeding a bit, i just sucked and licked the blood off several times, caring about other injuries.. the guy who was helping me to take off all equipment had a severe eczema with bloody cuts on his hands, and at that moment, my cut was still bleeding for sure, i know it was small, but the guy was touching directly my hands and what if his blood got in contact with my fresh cut? i dont know if this happened, i was a bit out of my mind due to the fall and didnt control how much his scratches were open/bleeding etc neither i was able to control if i saw some other blood on my hands etc... all these thoughts came much later... please, can you give me advice? thank you very much.
