What is risk for hiv by touching finger very briefly to 1 drop of semi wet blood exposed to environment? this was in community setting and not in hospital. blood was exposed to environment . my skin is intact and not broken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need testing: Who’s blood. If known HIV + you need prophylaxis NOW. If unknown source in a low risk area (church, upscale restaurant, etc) you should get tested now and in 3-4 months. If in high risk area (drug addiction clinic, soup kitchen) probably need prophylaxis as well
