A member asked:
My co worker cut himself on a body panel. i too had cut myself on the same panel 1 minute later. can i contract hiv if there were residual blood?

Remotely possible: I'm sorry this happened. If this is a real-life scenario, you'll want to get with your physician now and see about HIV prophylaxis. If your co-worker is actually your friend, even in this world of "rights", he/she might know the HIV status and be able to reassure / warn ou.
