Stop worrying: Especially if you're working in a health care setting, you need to get over these unrealistic fears of HIV. It's simply not transmitted by this kind of contact when there's no skin breaking and no exchange of body fluids. This isn't even a hepatitis B risk and this is thousands of times more transmissible. You owe it to yourself and those around you to contain these fears.
