None: HIV and Hepatitis B and C cannot be transmitted through above mentioned mechanism. Hand hygiene rules still apply as to risk for transmission for other bacteria including hepatitis A.

Sometimes we touch money with dried blood on it, if these blood contain hep c virsue can it transmit? If we have skin cracks on our hands or minor cuts, or cuts with dried blood(healing process). I am doing a big research about hep c so please help.

Im very confused and scared. Ive asked if a hand job from a person (male) that has a cut on their hand blood was not seen but couldnt be ruled out touching head of penis and precum. Am I at risk for hiv and should I get tested? Heard yes and no?

Can you get HIV from a hand job that the person giving the hand job had a small cut or crack in the skin? It was noticeable near the side of their finger nail. There was no blood seen but the cut did touch the tip of the penis several times?
