Went to get pedicure and lady rubbed pumice too hard on skin. it's raw and sore. could i catch something? (hiv/hep)

Doubt it: But you can certainly contract a skin or nail infection from a breach on the skin barrier. Unless she has HIV and dripping blood on you, you are unlikely to get HIV in this manner.I will change pedicurist.
