I was sitting in class today when I noticed that the person sitting to the left of me had two cuts on their right hand, the one closest to me. One was large and wide and looked scabed, on the nuckles, and the second was still wet with blood. I noticed that when she was raising her hand to speak, pulling papers out of her binder, or just writing/gesturing her hand with all the cuts was getting close to the left side of my head and its hair, by accident of course. I was wearing my hair sticking out to the sides and one time their hand, the back of it where the cuts were located, touched my hair. I know this becasue I felt it and the peron apologized. I am worried about HIV and Hep C. My concern is that some of the blood was transfered from her hand to my head. What should I do? Can the blood soak into my hair and stay there? Will a hor shower with shampoo completley clean my hair, or do I need to do something more drastic? Should I cut off the hair that touched the blood? Please help!
