Infected Blood contact
Respected Sir n ma'am,
I was busy doing some stuff in hospital n when I came home, I noticed blood mark on my hand which was linear on dorsum of my hand. Not sure it was blood but it seemed like that. I accidentally licked it.
What to do now? Should I get blood test done. After how many days the results are positive If I have got infection. N after how many days HIV comes positive (in case I have been infected with any blood borne infection)
Kindly help.
