Suggest consult : It depends a little on the nature of the blood exposure and what the person whose blood you possibly came into contact with might or might not have. Most regions will have specific protocols and guidance. Seeing your doctor to discuss further is a good way to sort it all out and decide how extensively to test

Be more: specific....what kind of blood, ??age of blood???? What EXACTLY was your contact like??? If you are concerned ask your Primary Care Provider for guidance ..the testing will be "extensive " and should not be done unless the "body fluid contact" was significant clinically!!!!!\ Hope this helps Dr Z
