A member asked:
How high is the percentage a phlebotomist could become infected if she has cuts on hands but always wearing gloves while drrawing gloves.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low risk: As long as gloves are worn, blood does not contact the cuts on the hands and risk of infection is minimal.
