A member asked:
I work as a massage therapist, can you contract hepatitis or aids by giving someone a massage if you have a cut on your hand? should i wear gloves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No chance of contracting HIV or hepatitis, unless there are open, bleeding wounds you are working on. Would still recommend that you cover your wound with bandaid or gauze in order to protect its healing.
