consult for prescription and guidance

Since you noticed only red dots and no bleeding or definite open wound, you generally do not need HIV PEP or emergency blood-borne-disease testing for this event. Wash your hands normally with soap and water. Do not repeatedly inspect or squeeze the red spots to determine whether the skin is broken. If you know that you are not vaccinated against hepatitis B, vaccination is worthwhile for general protection, but this particular incident does not sound like a significant exposure requiring emergency treatment. If there actually was a fresh, actively bleeding/open wound that had direct contact with a substantial amount of fresh blood, then medical assessment would be appropriate.

The fact that the note had been withdrawn from an ATM two days earlier does not establish that the stain was blood or that it came from someone with HIV/hepatitis. Even in healthcare settings, CDC notes that HIV, HBV and HCV have not been transmitted from ordinary contaminated environmental surfaces. Based on the exposure you described, you can consider yourself at essentially no risk for HIV from this incident. Try not to repeatedly test yourself after casual-contact situations, as this can reinforce health-related anxiety. Thank you
