Thank you doctors. i work with a lot of paperwork being passed around. i get lots of paper cuts sometimes deep ones. what are the possibilities of getting hiv or hepatitis from paper cuts?

Empathize with your paper cut experience, but do not worry. Chance of HIV or hepatitis from this cause is virtually unheard of.
