A member asked:

The chance of getting infected with bloodborne diseases when using a contaminated tissue with blood or plasma to stop your own bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear question: Why would you use tissue contaminated with someone else's blood or plasma? Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
