Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the risk of hepatitis B infection. If I have a small wound on my hand that has stopped bleeding for two days, is there a possibility of infection if I touch bodily fluids containing the virus? Thank you in advance.
Not very possible. In a person with normal blood clotting, a stable blood clot and scab usually form within about two days. This creates a physical barrier that significantly reduces the likelihood of viruses entering the bloodstream through the wound.
