Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand you're anxious about infectious diseases but you keep asking essentially the same question over and over again. The simple answer is that there is no risk for transmission unless there's infected blood on the surface that you came into contact with. The same answer applies to every potential case you may have in mind.

I hope this explanation eases your anxiety a bit!
Kind Regards!
