A cashier at the store had a cut on her finger and got a drop of blood on my finger. i do not have any visible breaks in my skin. hiv risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Even if the cashier has HIV, I don't see how it can be transmitted to you in the manner described. Chances are that she did not even have HIV at all
