I Got a Cut From a Scissor That Was Used By Someone Else. The Scissor Was Used By The Other Person 50-60 Minutes Before My Use. The Scissor Was Untouched For 50-60 minutes, and then I Had Used It. The injury had bleeded, 2-3 drops of blood came out. Can hiv, hepatitis b, hepatitis c, syphilis, hsv be transmitted from this incident? Should i take PEP medication?
