A member asked:
At a doctor's visit, i hit my head against a box on the wall containing hazardous materials (used syringes, used needles...). will i get infected?

Unlikely: Highly unlikely -- the external surface is not contaminated and should not transmit internal fluids to the outside.

Not likely: your chance is the same with any other type of trauma. You have not been exposed to any type of biologic material.
