Random person Spit into my eye

2022-01-03 11:00:04
I was sitting in a railway station, random drunk, homeless guy came up to me and ask for money, while he was talking to me, I felt that one droplet from his mouth came straight into my eye, I'd like to know what kind of deceases I'll get through this incident, I'm afraid of getting HIV in case he's having some sort of blood coming out of mouth and mixed with saliva and the droplet with the blood came straight into my mucous membranes in my eye and HIV swim right through my bloodstream. Please Help. I need reassurance. I'm a first medical student myself and I know this is a high risk activity.

You must have immediately washed your eyes with fresh water. If at all he had some viral infection, transmission depends upon time (duration)of exposure.

Hii.. There are a few viruses which can spread through saliva. If u are worried regarding HIV.. it doesnt spread unless it enters blood stream.
