Hi - this is a question partially for the doctor I was in contact with yesterday - Dr Sumit Bhatti. Just so I have things straight in my head - you said that the risk of transmitting HIV conjunctivitis even with close contact with tears and droplets will be more than one in a million . Did you mean NO more than one in a million or in fact the risk is actually greater than one in a million. I m sorry if I am being petty, I just need to get all the facts straight, in order to get rid of this anxiety. Just a bit of background if you don t remember me - medical student who had a splash injury in surgery which was deemed low risk for blood bourne viruses who has now developed conjunctivitis and is scared that I am able to pass on HIV (despite the low risk that I have it in the first place) to my close contacts via my infected eyes.
