No HIV Risk: Nope. Your skin and your eyes are very good barriers to viral infection. There is no risk for HIV in this scenario. You have been told this. This is accurate and exact information.

Only if the boy has: Hiv. Exposure to blood per se is not a risk for hiv, only if the blood is from a person with hiv. See this site for more info. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html.
