hepatitis c
I went to the beauty center for facial and skin care. They creamed my face and removed the blackheads and white oils from the face. In some places, blood came out as if a needle was stuck. the employee who did it was not wearing gloves. There was a small wound on the employee's arm, it wasn't bleeding, but it was red. if he touched his wound and touched me before he touched me. If there is blood mixed with the cream, will it make me hepatitis C or HIV?
No. In order to transmit hep c blood from an infected person must enter the blood stream of an uninfected person. The most common method of transmission is between IV drug users sharing needles. To transfer from an injury it would need to be an open fresh wet activity bleeding injury.
Hepatitis C is relatively difficult to transmit. You were not at risk getting a facial

The standard answer from the HIV community is as follows
“ You may be exposed to HIV if you:
1) Have unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Share IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.
It’s really as simple as that. HIV can also be passed from an infected mother to an unborn child, or to a newborn through breastfeeding. “
If you did not do the above you are not at risk of HIV

However, you might consider getting counseling for anxiety which is a condition that maybe you do have vs conditions you could not possibly have.
tahnks for help..ı feel better and no thıng to make a test
You don’t need to test. You maybe should seek counseling for anxiety
I don’t see how what you is saying happens but it’s no risk just not realistic to worry about this move on

Lots of ifs and buts here.
But In short certainly no HIV or Hep risk here.

fter applying the cream, I got some cream in my eyes. The blood on your hand mixes with the cream and you say no matter if it is worth my eyes or wounds. thanks
No no worries for you here. Any blood on your hand will be your own so not a problem if gets in your eyes or anywhere - apart from irritation maybe.
