A member asked:

Can u get hep c or hiv from knocking used pad with dermatitis and non bleeding cuts on hand?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not very likely: The transmission of the viruses related to those two does take a bit more of an exposure than a brush by contact- especially in th case of hiv. But to get peace of mind, one can get a screening test for both with a simple blood sample. Ask your local health source.
