I wore a rental PE shirt today and i saw little bits of dry blood on it , and the dry blood sort of touched my open cut. Im just wondering what if that dry blood had like HIV/AIDS of Hepatitis or something , can i get those diseases even if the blood was all dried up and stuff, should i be worried?

Most viruses die very quickly outside the body, I doubt you "caught" anything from it. But I can see how you would be nervous in this day and age.

Usually if the blood has dried then infections can not be transmitted to you. I would clean the wound with soap and water.

Realistically, chances are slim to none. This sounds like a highly unlikely scenario to me though.

you can't catch anything from DRIED blood.
After it dries, it's 'dead'...so don't worry about it.
