I am a dental hygienist and I cleaned a progressed HIV patient. I happened to get a drop in my eye. It was not pure blood of course but what exactly would the chances be of contracting it that easily?
Answer
Fairly low, but they exist, especially if your patient has a very high viral load. Again, low chances.
