How fresh is fresh? If the stains are totally dried, they should be 'safe.' But if they are still moist, there is a risk if it gets into an open wound. Sexual contact and exposure to blood are the only two documented ways to transmit the disease. For a more lengthy discussion, visit the link.

"Scientists and medical authorities agree that HIV does not survive well in the environment, making the possibility of environmental transmission remote."
Hepatitis, however, can live in the environment for days (and for some types of the virus, months) so I would worry more about that.

blood is a biohazard, and when it is fresh, it still will be positive and active for any infectious disease it contains...
