I am 1st year MBBS students .In our hematology practical class of rbc counting , we had to suck up blood in a pipette. Teachers told that the blood they provided was not tested and it could be infectious . I am afraid that little bit of the blood went inside mouth . This happened on 6th December ,at 12 pm.What can I do now to save myself from any disease .

Don't worry it would only be concern if you have active mouth ulcers or some pathology of gastrointestinal in origin otherwise it wouldn't cause any harm.

Blood borne diseases can be transmitted if the infected blood comes in contact with the blood of the recipient. It is not transmitted by drinking blood. So you can't get the blood borne disease by sucking the blood of an infected person.
The story is good but it seems to be a cock and bull story. The pipette that is used to suck blood for such tests is not so wide that you should be able to drink blood as easily as you drink milk shake or any soft drink.

Blood is usually tested boss.. don't worry.. and blood borne diseases don't get transmitted by consuming it! Unless you have a open oral ulcer which is getting infected .. anyways inform the physio department and consult with your infectious disease department once for further clarification.. don't worry.. nothing will happen.. if you aren't already vaccinated against hepatitis b.. get that done soon .. all the best
