Injured Inner Lip, Bleeding, No Stitches. Chances Of HIV Infection?
I was punched about 2 weeks ago. It was a light punch but I had a slit in my inner lip which bled for 15 mins. I didn't need any stiches. I've no other symptoms and my lips healed completely by itself, without any medicine/antibiotics.
I'm just scared that I might have contracted HIV. I could not see any blood on the other person's hands but I'm not entirely certain. What are the chances ?
