Fear of HIV
I got my breasts checked by surgeon as there was a small pimple on the surfaces. Fortunately, there was nothing serious and everything was normal. BUT THERE WAS A MAN WHO WAS BLEEDING AND THE DOCTOR CHECKED ME AFTER HIM.The blood stain was on the bed sheet.I did not touch the bed sheet. BUT I am scared. What if a small drop of blood is there on the doctor's hand and then she touched my boobs.Can HIV OR ANY HARMFUL VIRUS ENTER MY BODY THROUGH NIPPLES or any infected small pimple as she was checking my breast.

The doctor would have most likely cleaned or sanitized their hand before examining you.
Either way, the HIV virus cannot pass through contact of dried blood and skin (nipple or pimple included).
