A member asked:
I have a 1cm cut and a few small punctures on my hand. i came in direct contact with another persons blood. what exactly should i be tested for?

Screening: If the other person can be tested too you should both be tested for HIV and all the hepatitis. Explanations should be from your doctor as we don't want to sound alarming here. Hopefully all will be negative for both of you.
