Question: Hi,

today I went to a clinic and had a blood sugar finger prick test, thanks God it was normal, however I noticed the nurse just gave me a cotton to push on the site of the prick, but she didn't cover it with plaster.

So I applied hand sanitizer and covered it with tissue paper at the doctor office. after about ten minutes I went to the grocery store, at the cashier there was a person before me there opening plastic bags to put his stuff, when my turn came I touched the plastic bags with my hand, which was touched before by the man and I remember but not sure that I noticed something wet, on the bag itself, or another place I don't remember, so I assumed the man licked his fingers to help him open the bags.

So I stopped opening the bags, and started to try to remember with which hand I opened the bag, I was scared that if that man had HIV, I might have touched his saliva with my pricked finger, which seemed at that moment dry with no blood.

Is there any HIV risk from that route ?
when I went back home I squeezed my finger and an extremely tiny blood drop came out. Does that mean that my prick was not healed and closed when I touched the bag ? or it means it was dry and closed but since I squeezed it it pushed blood upward and opened the wound ?

Thank you
