Can HIV be transmitted from saliva that may contain blood?

Hello doctor,

I recently hung out casually with a group of new acquaintances. During our interaction, one individual suddenly started yelling and became agitated while I was nearby. I felt some liquid on my face, which I believe was spit, although it was too dark to see clearly. I wiped my face with my jacket at the time. Later, I realized that some of the liquid might have entered my eye and could have contained blood. Given the risk of infectious diseases like HIV and hepatitis, should I consider taking PEP as a precaution? I did not rinse my eyes until about two and a half hours later, and I also noticed that there were pimples where the liquid had landed on my face.

Please guide me. Thank you.

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

I have recently begun counseling to address my anxieties, yet I continue to experience worrisome thoughts. I have another concern and would appreciate your guidance. During a recent hospital visit for a consultation, I had a small wound from peeled skin above my cuticle. After the consultation, I used hand sanitizer, which caused a burning sensation that made me aware of the wound. Is there a risk of contracting blood-borne pathogens in this scenario? Although I touched a heart rate monitor, door handles, and other common surfaces, I do not believe I made direct contact with the wound. There was also a biohazard bin in the room.

Kindly help.

Thank you.
