Can HIV Be Contracted Through Exposure Of The Eyes To Contaminated Water?
Question: I WAS CLOSING GARBAGE BAG IN THE PROCESS I GOT SPLASHED IN MY EYE I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE LIQUID WAS ANY HIV HEP B,C RISK
Brief Answer:
Minimal risk
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but there is a risk of exposure if the fluid that splashed in your eyes contains body fluids as urine or blood. I would recommend that you take a hepatitis b vaccine if you were not previously vaccinated . as for HIV risk then you should take a basic 4-week regimen of zidovudine and lamivudine. as for hepatitis c exposure , then you should follow up with pcr testing after 1 and 3 months . I hope I answered your question . if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
