A member asked:
Can a blood contact with skin with no wound transmit blood bourne infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: In real life, people do not catch infections that way. However, life can surprise you sometimes, so one must avoid blood contact unless it is the blood of a person he knows to be uninfected.
