Consultation For Transmission Of HIV
I did a wound dressing of a person who got bitten by a dog..the wound was not actively bleeding. First i applied isopropyl alcohol 70 percent for 15 seconds and wiped it and again i applied isopropyl alcohol 70 percent and wiped it. Then I applied povidone iodine and wiped it. A little bit of iodine touched my index finger where i have not cut but i have a cut on my thumb that was caused 15 hours ago then i applied isopropyl alcohol 70 percent on my whole hand and left it for 20 seconds then i washed my hand with soap for 20 seconds. I'll share the photo of the thumb.
Today at night 12 am it got cut from a bone of a chicken while eating and this incident happen today at 3.30 pm.
Today from 6 AM till this incident (3:30 PM) it didn't bleed.
Can this transmit hiv?

Prolonged azelaic acid breakout
Prescribed azelaic acid 10% for 18 days (acne marks), but continued using it daily for 53 days by mistake. Had escalating breakouts (tiny comedones, whiteheads, pustules) since week 1 of using it, worse each cycle, mainly on jawline/lower cheek. No burning/stinging ever. History of mild hormonal comedonal acne since age 9, never cystic. Stopped azelaic acid now. Should she completely discontinue it, or can it be reintroduced later at lower frequency? What likely caused this reaction?
