Question: Hi - I have a question on HIV Transmission. I was in a shop in XXXXXXX XXXXXXX When I was trying to open the door, the glass door broke into pieces.

I had few cuts in my feet because of this. There was one cut on top of my toe - A part of the skin was off and it was bleeding for a few minutes. It is not a deep cut, but there was bleeding and I did not find any broken glass there.

There was another cut where a small glass piece had penetrated by foot. There was not much bleeding and I removed the glass piece.I believe that the glass did not go very deep

This is my concern. There were multiple people in the store. I am worried about this:

1. In the first cut on the top of my toe, what if the glass piece had ricocheted ( bounced back) from someone in the store and what if they were HIV positive?

2. In the second cut on the bottom of my foot, what if someone had stepped on that glass piece seconds before I had stepped on it and what if they had HIV?

I am worried and anxious about this. Please let me know if HIV transmission is possible this way. Thanks for your time and help on this.

I think you did not read my post fully. The glass broke when I opened the door. So, it is all immediate and there is no time for anything to dry up. In my 1st cut, I was asking if the glass touched someone on its way and then cut me. In my 2nd cut, I am asking if another person had stepped on it seconds before I stepped on it.

OK. Makes sense. I also read everywhere on the internet that is almost impossible. Should I take it as 0% and move on or should I test after 2 weeks - That is what is not clear.
